<p align="center"><strong>Bootcamp on Mobile Brain-Computer Interface (MoBCI): challenges, opportunities, and paradigms.</strong></p>
<p align="center"><strong>Organizers: Potsdam Embodied Cognition Group (PECoG) – <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/school/university-of-potsdam/">University of Potsdam</a> + <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/ant-neuro/posts/?feedView=all">ANT Neuro</a> Berlin</strong></p>
<p align="center"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">12-13 May 2026 – University of Potsdam</span></strong><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"></span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) offer a powerful method of communication with machines using brain signals (mainly EEG). However, most interfaces operate in a seated setup, restricting real-world applications. Mobile Brain Imaging (MoBI) solutions present an opportunity to overcome this by creating Mobile BCIs (MoBCI). This bootcamp is designed for early-career researchers, Master's, and PhD students focused on the challenges and applications of capturing and utilizing brain activity in real-world, mobile environments. It is structured to bridge theory and practice, allowing participants to discuss and explore the technical and methodological challenges of creating this new generation of BCI. In a series of expert-led symposiums, you will explore the complete BCI pipeline, including BCI interaction design, advanced EEG signal processing and Machine Learning, the challenges of Mobile EEG, and large-scale collaborative efforts like the EEGManyPipelines initiative. These academic sessions build a full day of hands-on application. Using ANT Neuro hardware, you will apply these concepts directly in a Mobile BCI setup, progressing from basic implementation to the complexities of MoBCI design. This bootcamp offers a unique opportunity to gain a comprehensive understanding of the mobile BCI landscape, from theoretical paradigms to practical implementation. Connect with leading experts, develop hands-on skills, and explore the future of brain-computer interaction.</p>
