Nontraditional Assistive Technologies

Input technologies that use physiological signals rather than physical movement to control computers, providing access for people who cannot use traditional devices like keyboards, mice, or even eye-tracking systems. NTATs include brain-computer interfaces (using EEG or fNIR), galvanic skin response devices, and other biometric input methods. These technologies are essential for people with severe motor disabilities such as locked-in syndrome or advanced ALS, where conventional and even most alternative input methods are not viable.
