International Neurotech Competitions

RemBRAINdt

Despite the reality of COVID-19, in just a few summer months we remotely developed and submitted an art-generating BCI program (utilizing our new 16-channel OpenBCI) to the Russia-hosted Neurotech Cup 2020 and secured a position as finalists! On October 10th, 2020 we were awarded a People’s Choice Award!

AlphaBlaster

NeurAlbertaTech's very first project, AlphaBlaster, was a resounding success. In just two months, our team of ten undergraduates developed a tower-defense style video game controlled by the human brain. We used a Muse headset to track the player’s brain activity, and measured data correlating with the player’s relative attentiveness in real-time to shoot an enemy in-game. Garnering coverage from several media outlets! We place 5th overall in the NeuroTechX Open Competition.
