g.tec x Imperial Neurotech Society: Multimodal Workshop

​Brain in Flight: A Multimodal Biosignals Workshop with g.tec

​What happens to your brain, eyes, heart and skin when you’re flying a plane?

​Join Slobodan Tanackovic from g.tec medical engineering for a hands on workshop on running multimodal biosignal experiments outside the lab. We’ll fit a volunteer with mobile EEG, ECG, GSR and eye-tracking sensors. Then we’ll record live as they take off, fly and land a single-engine plane in a flight simulator, watching how their engagement, mental workload and heart rate variability change in real time.

​The focus is on the practical side of cognitive studies: designing a paradigm, preparing the participant, checking data quality as you go, and getting several signals synced and ready for analysis.

​Workshop Overview
1. Theory & background: detecting cognitive states and building experimental paradigms
2. Setup & subject prep: fitting the EEG, ECG, GSR and eye-tracking sensors
3. Live flight experiment: take-off, a short flight and landing, with features visualised online
4. Data review: preprocessing, artefact handling, and syncing signals and triggers

​Whether you’re planning your first EEG study or already work with biosignals, come see how a real multimodal recording comes together from start to finish!
