      Aug 2018 - Aug 2020
      Research Assistant

      - Worked on a cognitive Brain-Machine Interface, with the aim of training participants to be able to manipulate and sustain their attention with real-time feedback using EEG. - The experiment involved the use of Steady-State Visually Evoked Potentials (SSVEPs) to capture attention. - The feedback generated from SSVEPs allowed the participants to modulate their attention as required by the task.
