University of Patras
Neuroengineering & Brain Computer Interfaces Research Infrastructure
Vision
The Neuroengineering and Brain-Computer Interfaces Research Infrastructure was recently established at the University of Patras with a vision of providing academic researchers, students and external partners access to a wide variety of systems for non-invasive measurement of brain and eye activity. Focusing on portable equipment, the infrastructure supports studies in natural settings and across disciplines, ranging from health sciences and engineering to education, business and the humanities.
Research Areas
The infrastructure supports projects that explore a variety of domains, including:
- Health and rehabilitation sciences: studying brain activity during therapy and recovery
- Humanities and education: investigating language, cognition, learning and cultural experience
- Engineering and technology: evaluating human interaction with digital systems, VR/AR and new interfaces and interaction paradigms
- Business and economics: examining consumer behavior and decision-making through neuromarketing approaches
Services
The infrastructure provides equipment for research and cooperation in the University and with external partners. Access is organized through established procedures. Trained staff assist the use of the instruments and basic data collection and handling, ensuring the equipmet is used safely and effectively.
Universities and Excellence
By aligning with the Strategic Plan for Research and participating in national initiatives like the SUB2 call "Universities of Excellence," the infrastructure aims to strengthen the University's role as a center of excellence and collaboration in both national and international research alliances.
