Brain Research

From neural signals to meaningful human interaction.

We investigate brain activity and cognition to create technologies for communication, neuroadaptive interaction, rehabilitation and earlier clinical insight.

Focus

Research focus

Three connected lines of research take our work from controlled neuroscience experiments to useful, human-centred systems.

Brain-computer interfaces

Assistive communication, decoded neural intentions and neuroadaptive interaction using active and passive EEG-based interfaces.

Neurophysiological biomarkers

Neural signatures for cognitive-state assessment, patient stratification and research into cognitive decline.

Affective computing

EEG, gaze and physiological sensing for emotion-aware, preference-aware and human-centred systems.

Research capabilities

Methods and capabilities

Our experimental and computational pipeline combines reliable signal acquisition with modern neural representations, multimodal analysis and human-centred validation.

EEG acquisition and experimental design

High-density, lightweight and mobile EEG systems support controlled, clinical and real-world protocols.

Neural decoding and brain networks

Riemannian geometry, graph signal processing, deep learning and network analysis reveal meaningful neural patterns.

Multimodal biosignal analytics

EEG is combined with gaze, electrodermal activity, cardiac, muscular and movement signals for a holistic view of human state.

Neurophysiological biomarkers

Subtle signatures of cognitive state and disease heterogeneity support stratification and clinical research.

Active and passive BCIs

Decoded intentions and spontaneous responses become low-latency control signals for communication and adaptation.

Neuroadaptive environments

Interactive and immersive systems respond to engagement, emotion, workload and cognitive state in real time.

In practice

Research applications

Selected demonstrations show how neural decoding and multimodal sensing become testable experiences for communication, rehabilitation and human-centred interaction.

Assistive technology

BCI keyboard and neuroadaptive interaction

EEG signals are translated into communication and control, including an error-aware keyboard that can recognise and correct unwanted selections through the user's brain response.

Affective computing

Neuromarketing and neuroaesthetics

EEG, gaze and biosignals help assess engagement, preference and emotional response in realistic decision-making, communication and cultural contexts.

Brain-and-eye controlled gaming

Hybrid gaze and EEG interaction enables responsive game control and accessible experimentation.

Motor rehabilitation through gaming

Brain signals, movement and feedback are combined in motivating rehabilitative and neurofeedback experiences.

Multisensory cultural experiences

Neural and physiological responses help researchers understand attention, emotion and aesthetic experience.

Research infrastructure

Reusable research resources

Data, tools and research assets

Open and reusable datasets connect language, perception, affect, clinical research and inclusive interaction.

Speech and language EEG

Inner-speech and cross-linguistic recordings support research into covert speech and semantic representations.

Perception and affect

Graphesthetic, neuroaesthetic and neuromarketing datasets combine EEG with physiological and gaze measurements.

Clinical and inclusive interaction

Alzheimer's and multimodal interaction datasets support stratification, assistive systems and reproducible research.
