With g.tec medical engineering we visited nine universities in Istanbul and Ankara in ten days. Researchers, academics and students tried multimodal neurophysiology systems and brain-computer interfaces hands-on, with live demonstrations. The next stop could be your university.
Coordinated by Nevosa Medikal Cihazlar ve Danışmanlık in partnership with g.tec medical engineering (Austria), this travelling workshop series ran as hands-on sessions at nine universities in Istanbul and Ankara. The sessions were designed for researchers and students in psychology, cognitive science, neuroscience and biomedical engineering.
2026Each session 3 hoursLed by Slobodan Tanackovic of g.tec
As g.tec medical engineering and Nevosa, we organised this event as a voluntary initiative to contribute to the technical and research skills of students in Türkiye in neurotechnology, and to meet new partners in academia and lay the ground for future collaboration.
Programme
Two workshops, one aim: learning neurotechnology by doing.
Workshop 01
Multimodal recordings in real-life or simulated environments
A cognitive performance experiment ran in a web-based flight simulation with mobile EEG sensors. EEG, ECG, GSR and eye movements were recorded simultaneously throughout, and attention, workload and stress levels were visualised live.
Synchronising several biosignals
Real-time data visualisation and signal inspection
Paradigm design and detecting cognitive functions
Workshop 02
Brain-computer interface (BCI)
The theory of BCI techniques came together with hands-on experience; non-invasive BCI applications were demonstrated live on the Unicorn EEG platform.
01Preparing the cap: the electrode gel in the participants' hands.
02EEG and eye tracking in one set-up.
03Recording EEG in virtual reality.
04Multimodal recording: the signals on screen, everyone at the table.
