Alexandra Kerlidou has a passion for music, but the 21-year-old isn't your typical musician. She's been diagnosed with cerebral palsy, which gives her severely limited mobility.

  • The workaround? Alexandra uses her eyes to play, thanks to an innovative instrument called the Eyeharp, which was developed by computer scientist and musician Zacharias Vamvakousis. 

🎶👀 Please don't stop the music... Using a computer system that monitors eye movements to play "notes," the Eyeharp allows people with disabilities to play music across dozens of different instruments.
