Brain-Computer Interface Workshop: Innovate and Compete in a Brain-Controlled Drone Race Challenge - UTS Tech Festival 2024

Hands-on Brain-Computer Interface Workshop

We are pleased to invite you to the hands-on workshop on Brain-Computer Interface (BCI), followed by an exciting BCI drone race competition. 

This workshop aims to provide practical experience in designing and developing real-time Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) using electroencephalogram (EEG) technology. It also promotes using open-source tools and practices to enhance community collaboration and advance BCI development. The workshop will conclude with a competition to develop BCI-based controls for a drone race, offering exciting prizes for the winners.

You will experience numerous Brain-Computer Interfaces example, coding sessions, model demonstrations and real-time hands-on activities with neurophysiological devices (wearable EEGs), followed by the first exciting drone race competition powered by BCI technology.

Date: Monday 17 June 2024
Time: 10:00am - 6:00pm
Location: Building 11, Level 00, Room 100

Who is invited: 

• BCI researchers 
• Students of all stages (graduate, Ph.D., postdocs, faculties) from the Neuroscience and Computational Intelligence community
• Industry and research partners
• Anyone else who is interested and basic knowledge of programming

What to bring: For hands-on setup, please bring your own laptop

Recommended background: Basic knowledge of EEG-based BCI and machine learning and knowledge of programming such as Python.
