Department of cognitive science and psychology and asked us to help her we

psychology and asked us to help her we

psychology and asked us to help her we were a little bit surprised because we

were a little bit surprised because we

were a little bit surprised because we have been doing at the time fundamental

have been doing at the time fundamental

have been doing at the time fundamental research using eye-tracking bio

recordings and other type of devices but

recordings and other type of devices but she said we are the only people in log

she said we are the only people in log

she said we are the only people in log area who knows something about eye

area who knows something about eye

area who knows something about eye tracking and so her son had cerebral

tracking and so her son had cerebral

tracking and so her son had cerebral palsy and cannot use his hand you know

palsy and cannot use his hand you know

palsy and cannot use his hand you know speak and she said you must help us

speak and she said you must help us

speak and she said you must help us because in Bulgaria nobody cares about

because in Bulgaria nobody cares about

because in Bulgaria nobody cares about it nobody knows about it so this

it nobody knows about it so this

it nobody knows about it so this actually changed our lives three years

actually changed our lives three years

actually changed our lives three years later when we founded the NGO which

very important for these people to have

very important for these people to have access to such type of assistive

access to such type of assistive

access to such type of assistive technologies so this group of people

technologies so this group of people

technologies so this group of people including so famous and well-known to

including so famous and well-known to

including so famous and well-known to use even talking is a group of people

use even talking is a group of people

use even talking is a group of people with severe physical disabilities some

with severe physical disabilities some of these people are not so well

of these people are not so well

of these people are not so well cognitively which is not a problem at

cognitively which is not a problem at

cognitively which is not a problem at all but some of them are not only

all but some of them are not only
