13:40-14:05 Designing BCI classifiers with PRSD Studio
Pavel Paclik, Ph.D.
In this presentation, the researcher will learn how to design robust real-time BCI detectors and classifiers in Matlab-based PRSD Studio toolbox, and quickly execute them in the BCI2000 environment.
Room: 4.43

14:05-15:00 BCI2000 and FieldTrip
Robert Oostenveld, Ph.D.
