You know what BCIs are capable of now: controlling robots, cursors, keyboards, video games. But, how? What do you have to think? What exactly is the brain-computer interface system attempting to detect from the brain? How can I get involved!?


In this event, current brain-controlled wheelchair project lead Adam Del Rosso will cover the basics of building a non-invasive EEG-based BCI system. An overview of the many disciplines that contribute to the neurotech field will be provided, including neuroscience, signal processing, and machine learning. Then, Adam will provide a status of work within the brain-controlled wheelchair team and demonstrate the current capabilities of their low-cost BCI system featuring OpenBCI technology.


While this event is targeted towards current and prospective members of the Neurotechnology Exploration Team (NXT) student club at RIT and U of R, all are welcome to attend!
