I am honored to receive the BCI Society Early Career Award 2025! Sincere thanks to the selection committee of the BCI Society for this recognition—it’s truly humbling to be acknowledged by a community I admire so much! This would not have been possible without the incredible support and collaboration of colleagues at NERV Lab, Centre Inria de Paris and Institut du Cerveau – Paris Brain Institute, as well as mentors and peers in the broader BCI and neuroscience fields. I'm grateful every day to work in such an inspiring environment!
What a week for the NERV Lab at the BCI Meeting 2025 in the wonderful Banff, Canada!
First, two of our rising stars, whom I have the pleasure to co-supervise, presented their studies during a poster session and a masterclass session: Cassandra Dumas presented her work on the [challenges in Common Spatial Pattern reliability for Neurofeedback](https://lnkd.in/duUCrAd7) and Camilla Mannino presented her latest work on the [use of neuronal avalanches as a predictive biomarker of BCI performance](https://lnkd.in/dTFGcA28).
Then, I had the pleasure of participating in the workshop on AI+Data chaired by Eli Kinney-Lang, where I presented [MOABB](https://lnkd.in/dWGhE_nA) (also known as 'Mother of All BCI Benchmarks') to benchmark classification pipelines in BCI
On the last day of the conference, together with Tristan Venot and Serafeim Perdikis, we organized a workshop dedicated to the exploration of features to improve BCI. It was a fruitful session with a lot of discussions with the audience. A huge thank you to the speakers: Maryam Alimardani, Pierpaolo Sorrentino, Fabrizio, De Vico Fallani, Arthur Desbois, Sonja Kleih-Dahms, Tomko Settgast, Reinhold Scherer & Jose del R. Millan.

Finally, on the occasion of the early career award session, I had the honor of giving a talk where I could provide a tour of the current projects I have the pleasure to lead on the investigation of brain interactions for BCI and the tools we are developing for the BCI community, such as [Happyfeat](https://lnkd.in/eRftdEGP) led by Arthur Desbois. I am deeply grateful to the award committee of the BCI Society for this recognition! A huge thank you to the organizers, in particular to the conference chairs Mariska van Steensel & Marc Slutzky, and the scientific program committee chairs Reinhold Scherer and Eli Kinney-Lang for putting together such a great event! We go back to Paris with so many new ideas!
This week, the NERV Lab moved to Austria to participate to the 9th Graz BCI Conference! It was a pleasure to attend this event with this vibrant community!
First, we organized a workshop dedicated to open-source tools for BCI. All the materials are available here: https://t.co/FdHDMJt45Y
Then, two of our rising stars presented their studies during a dedicated oral session: Camilla Mannino presented her [work](https://lnkd.in/d_hYHqxT) (#18) on the use of neuronal avalanches in the context of Brain-Computer Interfaces and Tristan Venot presented his [work](https://lnkd.in/d_hYHqxT) (#31) on dynamic brain networks in motor imagery-based BCI.
A huge thank you to the organizers, in particular to Gernot Müller-Putz and his team for putting together such a great event! We go back to Paris with so many new ideas (and chocolates)! Looking forward to the 10th edition of this insightful conference! Auf wiedersehen! 🇦🇹
I had the pleasure to co-organize a symposium at the 2024 BIOMAG conference on the crosstalk between brain modeling and data analysis! My slides are available on [HAL](https://hal.science/hal-04701100v1).
Together with Damien Depannemaecker, Leonardo L. Gollo, Spase Petkoski & Pierpaolo Sorrentino, we organized a workshop at the 2024 CNS meeting on the design of models of brain functioning. My slides are available on [HAL](https://hal.science/hal-04701039v1).
Together with Kalou Cabrera Castillos, Pierre Clisson, Arthur Desbois, and Frederic Dehais, we organized a workshop at the 2024 Neuroergonomics conference on the design of Brain-Computer Interfaces, from theory to real-life scenarios! All the materials (slides, code, FAQ...) can be found in our [Github repository](https://t.co/jqdlwEfkT4).
Pleased to announce that our paper done in collaboration with P. Sorrentino and Gian Marco Duma has been accepted in Scientific Reports! Paper available [here](https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-024-64870-3)
Honoured to have given a talk on my scientific journey during the 6th French Brain Bee edition to promote neuroscience in high school. Thanks the organizers for having me!
Thrilled to have [Dr Parul Verma](https://parulv1.github.io) from IIT Madras with us during 3 weeks to initiate a collaboration on brain modelling of the BCI system! Huge thanks to the FACE Foundation for their support. Stay tuned!
Pleased to announce that our paper done in collaboration with P. Sorrentino has been accepted in iScience! Paper available [here](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2589004223028110)
