🧠 I'm delighted to share that our book on #BCI has now been officially released 🎉 https://t.co/L2lOtuJ5hQ
It brings together contributions from an outstanding group of researchers and practitioners, offering an end-to-end perspective on BCI's. #Neuroengineering #EEG

🚀🧠Thrilled that our NEURONAUT project was selected by @ESA & @portugalspace under PROSSE'25! We’ll develop adaptive BCIs to enhance astronaut–robot collaboration and study brain function in microgravity during parabolic flights on the A310 Zero-G @istecnico @laseeb_isr

[Agência Espacial Portuguesa @portugalspace]

🏆 🚀 Os projetos NEURONAUT, do @ISR_Lisboa do @istecnico, e U-SANS, do @inegi_portugal, são os vencedores do #PROSSE25, programa da @portugalspace que financia, este ano, os dois projetos de investigação em microgravidade no valor total de 100 mil euros⬇️

Can priming embodiment before VR-based BCI training boost motor imagery performance?
🧠A new study found that embodiment induction increases the Sense of Embodiment (SoE), but it's real-time VR feedback during MI-BCI training that drives performance gains.

📣New paper out! ‘When embodiment matters most: a confirmatory study on VR priming in motor imagery BCI’ Results suggest in-task embodied feedback is key — and that individual differences matter: https://t.co/KYJUu2OJSn 🧠 #VR #embodiment #EEG #BCI #noisysproject
