ABSTRACT
There is a lack of inclusion and diversity in brain-computer interface (BCI) development because manufacturers historically neglect the needs and goals of women users. In this chapter, we adopt a female-driven user-centered design (UCD) approach to developing socially acceptable BCI devices for women. By using a female-driven UCD approach, we identified barriers that currently prevent women from using BCI devices and highlight potential tradeoffs between various design decisions. We believe these findings will empower women to use future EEG applications in education, personal informatics, and healthcare.
