Several members of the lab recently joined Dr. Meier for a productive day of sharing and learning with collaborator Dr. Kay Chen from the University of New Hampshire’s Translational AAC Data Science Lab. Dr. Chen’s undergraduate research assistant Lydia shared findings from her independent study project focused on reviewing the existing literature surrounding AAC and fNIRS. This was a follow-up from a previous meeting in October 2023, when members of both labs tested out a potential experiment using our fNIRS system and Kay’s novel AAC paradigm.
