Bridging the Gap between the Body and the Machine: Embodied Learning with Interventional Brain Computer Interfaces?
Sport Mont 2023, 21(3), 109-116 | DOI: 10.26773/smj.231017
Abstract
This review aims to understand how the body and the brain interact with different brain computer interfaces (BCI) and to analyze the implications of these tools on embodied learning in the educational field. Through a theoretical approach a review of the literature is developed by studying the relationship between the body, the brain and BCI. To conduct this research, the keywords “embodied learning”, “cognition”, “digital learning”, “body”, “brain-computer interface” were used in Pubmed, Frontiers, Google Scholar and Researchgate. There are multiple concepts related to digitization and they can vary from owning digital tools such as computers, phones, virtual reality devices to even using interventional BCI. BCI are being reported safe and are capable of reversing physical and cognitive disabilities. The impact of these tools is variable according to their nature, the environmental factors linked to their use, and the condition of the brain and body while using them. With the massive development of technology nowadays many interrogations are coming into surface about the relationship between the human and the machine, and at what level the digital world will be able to interfere with our lives and integrate our bodies.
