In October 2024, Abdallah Alwan the founder of NeuroPawn, gave a workshop lecture on NeuroPawn hardware, introduction to neurotech, and a live demonstration. This workshop focused on basic neuroscience concepts such as the neuron structure, the action potential, and summation.

We then focused on how EEGs pick up signals from the surface of the scalp, where those signals come from, and what are some possible ways that signals can get distorted.

After talking about some signal processing techniques such as FFT, High and Low-pass filters, and ways to improve the incoming data, we talked about different brain-computer interfacing paradigms. These included:

• Motor Imagery
• Steady State Visually Evoked Potentials
• Coded Visually Evoked Potentials
• P300 Event Related Potentials
• N400 Event Related Potentials

We finished off the workshop by exploring NeuroPawn hardware hands-on and measuring our ECG signals.
