I recently attended the 10th Graz BCI Meeting, where I gave my first keynote, co-organized a workshop with P. Sorrentino on the exploration of features in BCI, contributed to another workshop on variabilities, and participated in a roundtable on Science vs. Application.
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!
