✨ ISRC Research Seminar | Speaker: Dr Ingrid Odermatt, Brain-Computer Interfaces for neurorehabilitation ✨

Dr Ingrid Odermatt (Queen's University, Belfast) delivered an engaging ISRC Research Seminar exploring how motor imagery can support brain–computer interface (BCI) control and neurorehabilitation.

The seminar highlighted how imagined movements can activate sensorimotor brain regions even in the absence of movement or sensory input, with applications ranging from cortical mapping in tetraplegia to home-based neurofeedback interventions for stroke rehabilitation using mobile EEG systems.

Many thanks to Dr Ingrid Odermatt for an insightful seminar and to Dr Cian O’Donnell for organising the event.
