The NERV Lab at Graz!

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! 🇦🇹

Designing Brain-Computer Interfaces, from zero to hero!

A guided tour of recent & innovative open-source tools helping to design and use EEG-based Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI). All the resources are available on [Github](https://github.com/Inria-NERV/Graz24-DesigningBCITools-Workshop)!

Designing Brain-Computer Interfaces, from theory to real-life scenarios

Open source tools for brain signal analysis have greatly matured in recent years. In this two half-days workshop, a guided tour was proposed on the design of EEG-based Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI) using open-source tools. . All the resources are available on [Github](https://github.com/Inria-NERV/NEC24-DesigningBCI-Workshop)!

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)

Just up on medRxiv, our latest work on the use of neuronal avalanches as a tool for diagnosis in temporal epilepsy!

Glad to present our last piece of work in collaboration with P. Sorrentino, E. Troisi-Lopez and G.M. Duma in which we notalby used neuronal avalanches to distinguish epileptic patients and controls! Preprint available [here](https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.12.06.23299589v1)

A busy day for HappyFeat!

On December 6th, with Tristan Venot and Arthur Desbois we had the priviledge to present HappyFeat at Paris Santé Campus! On the way to go there we were informed that our paper has been accepted in Software Impacts. Congratulations to Arthur Desbois for his huge work! Paper available [here](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2665963823001471)

Cutting Gardens, here we go!

Truely happy to have taken part of the organization of the [CuttingGardens](https://cuttinggardens2023.org), a multi-hub meeting on EEG and MEG methods! I have notably animated a session dedicated to the use of BCI with 3 insightful talks given by R. Kobler, M. Tangermann, and T. Vaughan. All the materials (and many other features!) are available in the dedicated [github page](https://github.com/mccorsi/CuttingGarden2023-RealTimeEEG_BCI)

Challenges in BCI-based neurofeedback applications for neurological disorders

BCI-based neurofeedback (NFB) is a promising tool for counteracting neurological symptoms and informing neurorehabilitation strategies. Efforts have been made to improve BCI usability, by providing guidelines and predictors of performance. Yet, neurofeedback remains barely used in clinical settings and by patients in their daily life. In this workshop, we tackled the current challenges in clinical BCI research by identifying and discussing the key methodological and psychobiological aspects to foster its efficacy. We dealt with conceptual biases in clinical protocol designs. All the resources are available on [Github](https://github.com/mccorsi/BCI-2023-Clinical-BCI-workshop)!

Offline and online tools for real-world BCI applications

The ecosystem of open source tools for brain signal analysis has greatly matured in recent years and has been essential in many instances of modern research. In this workshop, we showed to which extent the BCI community can benefit from open science practices.
