Strokes are one of the leading causes of long-term motor disability among adults. Current rehabilitative interventions often don’t help patients with severe motor impairment. Brain computer interfaces (BCI) can provide an alternative approach for neuro-rehabilitation, particularly for severely impaired stroke…
In former posts I have given a quick-and-dirty overview of Machine Learning and related methodologies: “what most people call machine learning in neuroscience academic texts is known in other research contexts as pattern recognition, data mining, artificial intelligence (AI), computational…
In this blog post I review – briefly and by no means exhaustively – some of the literature on the use of tDCS in stroke. This is of special interest to me these days, as I am involved in a…
It is not rare for some children to show difficulty keeping their attention on tasks like playing activities, for them to be forgetful, easily distracted, finding it difficult to focus and complete their schoolwork; it’s also common to seem like…

First of all, what the hell is Neurofeedback? Neurofeedback is a therapy, a tool, a technology that gives you the possibility of direct training your brain functions. Many cognitive processes and mental states such as stress, attention or relaxation can…
What do we know about the safety of tDCS and its variants? Quite a bit, as it turns out: in short, application of tDCS with the protocols used to date appears to be safe [Poreisz2007a, Brunoni2011a]. Already in 2008, Nitsche…
Neuroscience and in particular Brain Computer Interface seem to be a tough topic, hard to get started with. This post provides an overview of the top three free open source tools that will help you to quickly develop your Brain…
I invite you to follow me walking down beautiful Las Ramblas in Barcelona, as I was some years ago. Imagine a nice looking woman stops us offering a nice amount of money to get participate in marketing study: we are…
Probably you’ve heard about brain-computer interfaces, neural interfaces or brain-machine interfaces and as most people you may wonder what these topics are about. A Brain-Computer-Interface or BCI provides an alternative method for acting on the world. Brain waves can be…
