The Brain Waves in Action: Explore Your Mind with EEG workshop is designed to introduce participants to the fundamentals of brain activity recording and analysis using Electroencephalography (EEG). This hands-on workshop explores how brain signals are measured, interpreted, and visualized, while guiding participants through the process of designing simple experiments and analyzing real EEG data.
Participants will learn how to create experiments using PsychoPy, record EEG signals during practical sessions, preprocess and clean brain data, analyze brain responses over time through Event-Related Potentials (ERP), and explore different brain rhythms such as alpha and beta waves. Through guided exercises and mini-projects, the workshop provides an engaging introduction to neuroscience, brain-computer interaction, and cognitive data analysis.

The human brain contains approximately 86 billion neurons, generating complex electrical activity that can be measured using EEG.
The global brain-computer interface and neurotechnology market is projected to exceed $21 billion within the next decade, driven by advances in neuroscience, healthcare, and AI applications.
EEG can measure brain activity with millisecond-level precision, making it one of the fastest tools for studying cognition and brain responses.
