​This workshop comprehensively introduces working with Neuropawn hardware in neurotechnology projects. Participants will learn to interface sensors, capture data, and perform basic signal processing. Attendees will work through a rudimentary brain-computer interfacing project with the speaker in order to develop their skills for future projects. By the end, attendees will have a solid understanding of Neuropawn's capabilities and how to effectively incorporate their biopotential kit into their projects.

​Speaker: Abdallah Alwan

​Abdallah Alwan is the founder of NeuroPawn, driven by a passion for neuroscience and a mission to make neurotechnology accessible to students. Frustrated by the high costs of equipment and the lack of hands-on learning during his neuroscience degree, Abdallah set out to create an affordable solution for students. His previous experience in neurotech, electrical engineering, and machine learning have allowed him to tackle this huge undertaking and create better opportunities for students.
