This week has, without a doubt, been one of my most productive weeks in a long time! I started the week with a lot of research, and the days just flew by. I plan to submit my work to a poster session in the BCI society later this year. I’m currently studying a setup for calibratingContinue reading “What a Week!”

So much Knowledge
Last week I attended a very inspiring webinar from the BCI society by Dr. Christian Herff. It was about machine learning for BCI systems. When I started my Ph.D. studies in august 2019, I knew nothing about BCI systems and machine learning. Since then, I have taken courses and read a lot about the topics and feel somewhatContinue reading “So much Knowledge”
Back to Business
The Christmas holidays are over for this year. I did not look forward to starting to work again. It turns out that it is quite nice to have a vacation. But now I have worked for a few days, and they have been some of my best in a while. I have had no meetings,Continue reading “Back to Business”
Preparations for more teaching
The teaching for this semester has soon reached its end. As I have said before, I love teaching. I have gotten a lot of positive feedback for my webinars and for the labs I have supervised. Teaching has genuinely been one of the few glimpses of light in these dark Corona times. But more teaching willContinue reading “Preparations for more teaching”
PhD Student representative
A few weeks ago, I was chosen as a Ph.D. student representative for the department board. I have had similar positions before, so I’m familiar with most tasks, but one thing that is new to me is to participate in interviews for new Ph.D. student candidates. I was nervous before the first interview, thinking about what IContinue reading “PhD Student representative”
Audiobooks
Ever since I learned to read, I have loved reading books. For quite a while, there was no end to my reading. Then came high school and university. During these years, I read almost no books at all. I spent all my days reading in school and doing homework, and when I was done withContinue reading “Audiobooks”
So many feelings
Being a Ph.D. student is sometimes like riding a rollercoaster of emotions. Some days I love it, but some days I only feel anxiety. Today I have felt both. Performance anxiety The most common negative emotion that I have as a Ph.D. student is performance anxiety. I feel that I don’t know enough, I don’tContinue reading “So many feelings”
Lab preparations
As part of my teaching duties, I’m responsible for coordinating lab 1 in the course Automatic control, basic coruse. Coordination includes: Setting up the equipment for the lab (see picture). Coordinate Ph.D. student supervisors. Coordinate student supervisors. Make the signup lists available. Every time I’m surprised by how much time this takes to do. But nowContinue reading “Lab preparations”
New teaching course coming up
I will be one of the teachers next semester in the basic course in Automatic Control. There I will be responsible for webinars, which are online sessions where the students discuss the latest lecture material. The webinars are a new element in the course, so we don’t know what the students will think about it.Continue reading “New teaching course coming up”
First data collection
Today was one of those big days: I collected my first set of EEG data! I did a simple trial where the test person (my husband in this case) imagined to lift his right or left hand. I am so proud that I got everything to work: the stimuli program, mounting the EEG cap, andContinue reading “First data collection”
