BR41N.IO Hackathon / g.tec medical engineering GmbH (AT)

The BR41N.IO Brain-Computer Interface Designers Hackathon Series has been created to show current and future developments, and the unlimited possibilities of BCIs in creative or scientific fields, and brings together engineers, programmers, designers and artists. Each team must design and build a wearable BCI-headpiece that can measure brain activity in real-time to create any sort of interaction. The hacking projects use EEG electrodes and amplifiers, and challenge programmers to code an interface that enables them to control devices, robots or applications, post messages on social media, draw paintings, or a myriad of other applications by using their thoughts only. BR41N.IO also challenges creative minds to design a BCI headset with 3-D printers, handcrafted materials and sewing machines.

Children are invited to create their own Brain-Computer Interfaces and can take their handicraft with them. BR41N.IO aims to promote awareness of artificial intelligence, life science, art and technology, and how these can merge into innovative and exceptional BCI systems.
