The EMBRACE Project started!
The EU Project tEchnology for Multimodal inter-BRain dynAmiCs invEstigation (EMBRACE – https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/101007521) started on Feb 1st, 2021.
The EMBRACE Project, coordinated by the former Director of the BIND Center Prof. Silvia Comani, has a 4 years duration and is funded under the Programme H2020-EU.1.3.3. “Stimulating innovation by means of cross-fertilisation of knowledge”, funding scheme MSCA-RISE – Marie Skłodowska-Curie Research and Innovation Staff Exchange (RISE).
EMBRACE merges complementary expertise and resources in biomedical engineering, material science, signal processing, neuroscience, and social psychology at 3 academic and 3 industrial partners from 3 EU countries (Italy, Germany, and Spain) to develop:
- a new mobile and wireless dry electrode EEG system suitable for monitoring brain activity during full body movements;
- Novel body-network sensors and a multimodal alignment system for the simultaneous recording of neural, physiological and kinematic signals from two interacting subjects;
- Novel analytical solutions for motion artefact removal and multi-level analysis of multimodal data;
- A new research dyadic paradigm to exploit the technological advances.
The following academic participate in the EMBRACE consortium:
-
- Behavioral Imaging and Neural Dynamics (BIND) Center,
University “G. d’Annunzio” of Chieti-Pescara (Primary Coordinator – Chieti, Italy) - Institute of Biomedical Engineering and Informatics
Technische Universitaet di Ilmenau (Ilmenau, Germany) - Laboratory of Computational and Cognitive Neuroscience (LCCN),
