=== Special Information due to the current situation with Corona ===

The usual format of this project course incorporates the conduction of a study within our laboratory. This involves presence with direct contact to participants and group members. As it is infeasible to plan this with varying regulations, we have decided to conduct this course completely online. No EEG recordings will be involved but we will have our own little BCI challenge between groups with a prepared dataset. To this extent, groups have to conduct different approaches to preprocessing and classification of motor imagery data. Details are still in preparation.
We can offer only a limited number of places and it is a prerequisite to have taken either the BCI-IL or BCI-fNtD modules.

=== Content ===

This projects conveys experimental competences of Brain-Computer Interfacing (BCI) exemplary. Moreover, theoretical skills in signal processing and machine learning are trained practically in hands-on experiments with self acquired data. A typical project is as follows: work out an experimental design for a given hypothesis; implement the experiment and conduct a study (including the acquisition of physiological data) with about 6 participants; investigate the acquire data with standard analysis methods and techniques from machine learning; put the results into perspective given the state-of-the-art and present them as a talk in a written report. Projects are performed in groups of 2 to 4 students.

Note: This project is about the practical aspects of Brain-Computer Interfaces. The background about this field of research is given in the lecture [[https://wiki.ml.tu-berlin.de/wiki/NT/Courses/IL_BCI|Brain-Computer Interfacing]].



=== Requirements ===
