We will be discussing data pre-processing, network optimization, hyper-parameter tuning for scalp electrode recorded electroencephalography (EEG)-based Brain-Computer Interface data. This is part of an ongoing effort to build a set of deep-learning based signal processing tools to control various apparatuses & machines using BCIs.
Our focus for this week's workshop will be mechanisms to visualize EEG data using the MNE package in python.
The event is hosted by Dr. Rahul Remanan & co-hosts Brian Parbhu & Billy Bridges.
Rahul is a physician turned entrepreneur with over a decade of experience in combining neuroscience & artificial intelligence. He is currently the CEO of Moad Computer (https://www.moad.computer), a healthcare focused enterprise artificial intelligence company. He is also the co-organizer of NYC-Brain Computer Interface Meetup group.
Brian works by day at a Value-Based Healthcare Analytics firm but has experience conducting neuroscience research at Haskins Laboratories at the Yale University School of Medicine. His neuroscience expertise is in fNIRS, fMRI, EEG, & BCIs, but he also has experience with Eye Tracking studies as well. Brian is the organizer of NYC-Brain Computer Interface Meetup group.
Billy Bridges is a software developer with experience in high performance computing (HPC). Billy is the co-organizer of NYC-Brain Computer Interface Meetup group.
Participants are advised to bring a laptop to effectively follow the code examples & strategic planning will be doing during this meeting.
Hope you can join us for this event where we will be building the next-generation Open Source Brain-Computer Interfaces & using Deep Learning to help solve some of the problems associated with todays BCIs.
