The BIOART research group of CREB-UPC, linked to ETSEIB, is organising a workshop in Barcelona to develop knowledge of brain connectivity and inverse modelling.
In the framework of the European HybridNeuro project (a Horizon Europe programme), from 6 to 9 February 2024 the BIOART research group of CREB-UPC is organising the workshop “A journey into brain activity”, which will be held in the Aula Capella of the Barcelona School of Industrial Engineering (ETSEIB). The topics covered in this event include EEG signal acquisition and preprocessing, Event and movement-related cortical potential analysis, Source localization and Brain connectivity. In addition to lectures and hands-on sessions, participants will have the opportunity to network with professionals from hospitals, companies and research centres, fostering collaboration and sharing cutting-edge neurotechnology advances and research in the field of brain-computer interfaces.
Aimed at experienced professionals and newcomers to the field, this workshop is a valuable opportunity to exchange knowledge, connect with industry professionals and experts, and explore the frontiers between brain research and technology.
Led by the University of Maribor (Slovenia), participants in the HybridNeuro project include researchers from the BIOsignal Analysis for Rehabilitation and Therapy (BIOART) group at the Biomedical Engineering Research Centre (CREB) of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - BarcelonaTech (UPC), the Imperial College London (UK) and the Chalmers University of Technology (Sweden), as well as the UPC Technology Center (CIT UPC).
Workshop “A journey into brain activity” in Barcelona
Date: 6 to 9 February 2024
📍 Location: Aula Capella, Barcelona School of Industrial Engineering (ETSEIB), Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - BarcelonaTech (UPC), and remote.

Presentation of the HybridNeuro HUB (HNH)
On 9 February the initiative of a hub for the motor and neural area will be presented. This hub is aimed at researchers, companies/start-ups and clinicians/hospitals and is an action and objective of the HybridNeuro project. The event will focus on brainstorming on the hub to foster international networking, generate shared databases, test technologies, and promote the creation of European consortia and proposals and the creation of specialised forums for hospital, research and business stakeholders.
About the HybridNeuro project
The HybridNeuro project is designed to establish a new way of analysing the motor system and human musculoskeletal movements and transferring academic research to clinical practice and industry.
