The wo rkshop is designed to prepare students for upcoming research projects invo lving brain–computer interfaces\, human–machine interaction\, cognitiv e neuroscience\, rehabilitation engineering\, and wearable biomedical sens ing.\n\nParticipants will learn how EEG and complementary sensors such as IMUs\, goniometers\, eye trackers\, cameras\, and pressure sensors can be used to study brain activity\, movement\, attention\, perception\, and hum an behavior during controlled experiments. The session combines conceptual introduction\, live hardware demonstration\, guided experimental design\, basic signal interpretation\, and student project brainstorming.\n\nThe w orkshop emphasizes safe and ethical human-subject data collection\, sensor setup principles\, event synchronization\, multimodal data quality\, and research-question formulation. By the end of the session\, students will h ave a clearer understanding of how to design feasible EEG-based and multim odal sensing experiments for their own STEM research projects.\n\nBy the e nd of the workshop\, participants will be able to:\n\n- Understand the bas ic principles of EEG\, brain signals\, and non-invasive brain–computer i nterfaces.\n- Recognize how multimodal sensors such as IMU\, goniometers\, eye trackers\, cameras\, and pressure sensors complement EEG measurements .\n- Identify common experimental design considerations for EEG and human- subject sensing studies.\n- Understand basic concepts of sensor placement\ , signal quality\, artifacts\, synchronization\, and data annotation.\n- D evelop an initial research idea suitable for a student-led STEM or biomedi cal engineering project.\n\nCo-sponsored by: Center for Brain Computing Re search (CBCR@NTU) and Hwa Chong Institution (JC)\n\nSpeaker(s): Aung Aung\ n\nAgenda: \n09:00 – 09:45 | Introduction to EEG\, BCI\, and Multimodal Biosensing\nOverview of brain signals\, EEG rhythms\, brain–computer int erfaces\, neurotechnology\, wearable sensors\, and real-world biomedical e ngineering applications.\n\n09:45 – 10:30 | Hands-on Demonstration: 32-c hannel EEG Setup\nEEG cap preparation\, electrode positioning\, signal qua lity checking\, impedance considerations\, artifact sources\, and safety/c omfort considerations.\n\n10:30 – 10:45 | Break\n\n10:45 – 11:30 | Mul timodal Sensor Demonstration\nIntroduction to IMU\, goniometers\, eye trac king\, camera recording\, and pressure sensors.
