My first paper is officially published!

I’m super happy and proud to announce that my first publication paper is already alive and published at the European Journal of Neurocience (EJoN) under the Special Issue “Rhythms of the brain”: Here’s the abstact of the paper: Abstract Electrical brain oscillations reflect fluctuations in neural excitability. Fluctuations in the alpha band (α, 8–12 Hz) in…

My first paper is out!

I’m super happy to announce that my first paper is already out! After two years of non-stop work, I can let this project go and undertake new ones. Can the occipital alpha-phase speed up visual detection through a real-time EEG-based brain-computer interface (BCI)?

A BCI driven by EEG Alpha power from shifts in covert visuospatial attention

I am happy to announce that last week I presented my first poster at the First Joint Congress of the SEPEX, SEPNECA and AIP experimental in Madrid, Spain. Yey! The poster summarized my master’s thesis findings of a BCI driven by EEG alpha power when using covert visuospatial attention. You can find more information and…

The importance of phase in EEG-based Brain-Computer Interfaces

In the world that we live, we have to react to sensory inputs all the time: the hustle and bustle of the city (traffic lights, cars, bikes…), notifications popping up in our screen, concerts… Taking the traffic light as an example, has ever happened to you that when you are waiting to cross and the…

Mneuronic: A mnemonic system based on stimulation-free neuroimaging

MNeuronic is a neurotech device that helps users to improve memory retention. The system capitalizes on the natural fluctuations of neural excitability in the human brain using real-time phase prediction. This confers two important strengths: efficiency and temporal precision. In this way, MNeuronic anticipates upcoming optimal brain states before they occur (rather than reacting to past…

2nd Brain Twitter Conference

I participated in the second edition of the Brain Twitter Conference, which is a virtual conference that takes place on Twitter. In this way, the conference removes the hassle of travel by allowing scientists to meet and interact using Twitter. Just like a regular conference, I delivered my talk via a series of tweets in…

A closed-loop BCI based on EEG alpha activity modulated by covert visuospatial attention – Intro

Alpha oscillations (8-14 Hz) are one of the most prominent electrophysiological signals from the human scalp. Previous research demonstrated that alpha activity is modulated by covert spatial attention and these modulations could be used as a control signal for brain-computer interface (BCI). The main goal of this study was to build a classifier, on a…
