BCI & NEUROTECHNOLOGY SUMMER SCHOOL 2020
The Summer School 2020 targets students, professors and professionals who have a severe interest in biomedical engineering, neuroscience, signal processing and brain-computer interfaces.
The 5-days event combines virtual talks and keynotes by international experts and a BR41N.IO BCI Designer Hackathon. Once you acquired all the knowledge from the Summer School including the practical exercieses, you are perfectly prepared to work in the BCI and Neurotechnology field and to pass any University course!
