It’s a busy week for the Ayaz Lab at Drexel University. Our team is sharing research at three events in Washington, DC, Boston, and Maryland, with poster presentations, an invited keynote, and two student travel awards.
IEEE Brain Discovery & Neurotechnology Workshop | Washington, DC | November 11–13
Bartu Atabek will present a poster on our next-generation, patent-pending brain-computer interface (BCI). Congratulations to Bartu on receiving a travel award to present this work! Workshop details
Neuroscience of the Everyday World Conference | Boston University | November 12–13
Zuhal Ormanoglu, who also received a conference travel award, will present two posters. The first explores how functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) can help assess cognitive function in children and adults with Down syndrome and in typically developing children. The second examines prefrontal brain activity, measured with fNIRS, while typically developing children interact with Pepper, a humanoid robot. Conference details
6th Annual Brain–Computer Interface Workshop | UMBC | November 12–13
Prof. Hasan Ayaz will give an invited keynote at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC). Dr. Adrian Curtin and Kevin Ramirez-Chavez will also represent the lab with poster presentations. Workshop details
Congratulations to Bartu and Zuhal on their travel awards, and thank you to everyone who helped bring these projects to the poster floor. If you’re attending any of these events, come say hello!
