Добро пожаловать на сайт группы нейрокогнитивных интерфейсов МЭГ-центра Московского государственного психолого-педагогического университета (МГППУ)!

Welcome to the Neurocognitive Interfaces Group at Moscow MEG Center, Moscow State University of Psychology and Education!

We study human physiology and cognition in human-machine interaction, especially in interaction via brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) and in gaze-based interaction. We also develop advanced non-invasive BCIs, especially the highly integrated “eye-brain-computer interfaces” (EBCIs), as well as alternatives to motor imagery in BCI and new approaches to enhance gaze interaction.

Research areas

Advanced/hybrid EEG/MEG BCIs

Attempted- and quasi-movements vs. motor imagery

Gaze interaction

OPM MEG

Intention, action, agency, consciousness
