Brain Hacks

  • Quit videogames and other addictive behaviors. Doing them in moderation is fun and OK, but it's way too easy to fall into addiction and compulsive behavior, and it's too hard to fix that. The risk-reward is not worth it.

  • Catequismo online (eLearning)
  • "Preguntados" biblico
  • Anotar 3 cosas positivas del dia. Ya existe, pero creo q no en español.
  • App donde te emparejes con otro usuario, uno manda un ping, y el otro recibe una alerta. Como las pulseras.

Hi there,
Will at Pupil Labs pointed me in your direction. I am interested in improving eyetracking for ALS patients. My friend has ALS and I was underwhelmed by her assistive technology (Tobii Dynavox). It is clumsy and the apps are just bare versions of the real thing (i.e., facebook) It seemed to me that the tech is there, the people are making stuff, but the focus is all on VR. I had contacted Facebook and the company they bought for eyetracking for VR. They too said that after VR is in place, THEN they will work on assistive tech. Anyway, I will have an opportunity next month to use the pupil glasses as part of a work event (they want to track engagement, attention, etc) but I may be able to work with them to try your work. Pupil is sending a guy from Chile (Pedro) to work with us. I don't know his role in the company and I know the priority will be gathering the data they want for the event, but I'm hoping to try something.
Anyway, just wanted to introduce myself. It may be too late for my friend, but your work will help so many people.
Thank you!
Wendy

PS: Totally agree with your Brain Hacks statement.

Hey @wyn4june! I just saw your message. The project has been a bit inactive, but I'm picking it back up now. I must admit your message refreshed my enthusiasm for this project. Helping people with ALS is exactly the reason why I started this, and I somehow got sidetracked with other stuff over the months. Thank you for reaching out, and for motivating me to continue working on this! :) Feel free to write me at hookdump (at) gmail.com so we can talk about the specific needs of your friend, that could be helpful on guiding this project.

I'm not sure if you'll see this response, if I don't hear back from you here, I'll ask Will to connect us through email.

Cheers!
