Competition project

One of NeuroTech Leuven's activities is to compete in international neurotechnology competitions as a multidisciplinary team. Each year a team within the organization creates a brand new project.

Presenting our 2024 NeuroTech X competition project:

The MindWitcher

Mindwitcher 2023-2024

The Mindwitcher project leverages EEG signals to perform two main functions within The Witcher 3 game: 1. Spell Casting and Horse Calling: EEG signals related to movement and imagined movement are used to call the player's horse and cast spells. 2. Emotion-based Weather Modification: EEG signals related to the player's emotions dynamically modify the game's weather conditions. Our solutions are designed to be "plug-and-play" or require minimal per-session calibration to maximize accuracy and user experience. Learn the details on our github.

BrainBrowsR 2022-2023

BrainBrowsR is a software stack that allows a user to control the browser through SSVEP. We want to unlock social media for people with extreme paralysis, ALS or locked-in syndrome. To achieve this, we built a web extension that inserts stimuli into the web page. These flickering elements generate a specific electrical signal in the brain, which we can measure with a commercially available electroencephalogram (EEG) headset. Find more details on our Github repository.
