His Excellency the German President, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, visited the Human-Centered Computing Lab at the German Jordanian University (GJU) as part of his official visit program. He reviewed the most prominent research projects and technological applications under development in the lab, which focus on harnessing technology to benefit people and enhance the quality of life.
During the tour, His Excellency listened to a detailed presentation by Eng. Oula Hatahet about brain-computer interface projects. Among these was an advanced research project aimed at translating imagined speech into understandable text based on brain signals, artificial intelligence, and machine learning techniques. This project is considered a pioneering initiative, representing a qualitative leap in enabling human communication through non-motor channels and opening up broad horizons to support individuals facing speech or mobility challenges.
The German President also learned about specialized research projects focused on analyzing and understanding human interaction using Wi-Fi signals to accurately monitor motion and behavioral patterns, enabling the development of innovative applications in healthcare and security, as well as enhancing user experiences in smart environments.
This visit underscores the advanced status of the German Jordanian University (GJU) as a leading institution in scientific research and technology, its continuous commitment to developing innovative research projects, and its efforts in strengthening academic and research collaboration with partners in Germany, while contributing to knowledge transfer, supporting innovation, and serving society both locally and internationally.
