Decide on your favorite project

Video game controlled by brain activity

01

The goal is to create a video game in which actions are entirely controlled by brain activity, using an EEG headset. The team will use several brain signals to generate commands in real time. At the same time, the game's graphics and interaction mechanics will need to be enhanced, based on an existing framework.

Manipulate brain code in real time

02

Can spatial memory be read directly from raw neural activity?

This project aims to develop a decoder capable of linking, in real time, high-dimensional neural data to the position of a mouse in a maze. The model will be able to detect reactivations during different states of alertness.

Emotions, memory, and sleep

03

This project is based on electrophysiological recordings of different brain regions in behaing and sleeping animals. The aim is to examine how information circulates during sleep and to determine whether contextual information is reactivated and encoded after an emotional experience.
