Friday Seminar

Every Friday at our department, someone holds a short presentation about their research. This Friday, it was my turn. I talked about the experiments that I have done, the pipeline we have created from experiment design to data analysis, and what I’m currently doing with the BCI systems’ calibration. I was pleased with the presentation,Continue reading “Friday Seminar”

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”

Today, the course’s headteacher and I got an email from a student stating how much they appreciated us as teachers.Continue reading “I Love Teaching!”

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”

First Webinar for this semester

I’m so happy! Yesterday I had the first webinar in the course “Automatic Control Basic Course”, and I got a lot of good feedback from the students. As always, it is delightful when someone appreciates what you do. The idea of a webinar is that the students discuss the material from the latest lecture inContinue reading “First Webinar for this semester”

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”
