Attendees of various backgrounds are welcome to join!

  1. Functional connectivity research: can we find a common ground?

  2. Detecting trypophobia triggers

  3. Development of video game for studying joint action dynamics

  4. Training a human-like movie evaluation system based on the semantic features of the storylines

  5. Hypothesis­-driven white matter tractography from T1­-weighted MRI images

  6. One channel EEG sleep staging with open source and open hardware NeuroOn sleep mask

  7. Building a brain-ageing biomarker using machine learning

  8. Building and using the “FlyPi”: the 3D-printed Neurobiology Lab
