From Neural Impulse to Action: Your Body Controls the Robot
What if you could control a robotic claw using electrical impulses from your own muscles? In this workshop, you’ll step into the fascinating world of brain-machine interfaces – technology that connects biological signals with digital devices.
We’ll use Spiker:Bit and Claw – innovative devices from Backyard Brains that allow you to record electrical impulses from your body and use them to control robotics. Through hands-on experiments, discover how our bodies communicate in the language of electricity and how the nervous system can connect with external technologies.
About This Workshop
What You’ll Learn
- How the brain and muscles communicate through electrical signals
- What brain-machine interfaces are and how they work
- How to record bioelectrical signals using the Spiker:Bit device
- How to use electrical impulses from your body to control a robotic claw
- Practical applications of neuroscience and bioengineering in everyday life
- How this technology is used in medicine, rehabilitation, and robotics
Why Sign Up?
This workshop is a unique opportunity to experience hands-on the technology shaping the future of medicine, robotics, and artificial intelligence. Brain-machine interfaces are already being used to control prosthetics, rehabilitate patients, and develop advanced control systems – and you’ll have the chance to try them live.
The workshop brings together neuroscience, biology, and engineering in an accessible, fun, and interactive format. It’s ideal for anyone who wants to experience science firsthand and discover how our bodies can become the interface between mind and machine.
About the Instructor
The workshop is led by Aleksa Vasić, Biologist (MSc) and science popularizer who combines biology, neuroscience, and technology to make modern scientific discoveries accessible to everyone. Through practical demonstrations, he shows how the electrical signals that control our bodies can be observed, measured, and used to control external devices.
Who Is It For?
For anyone who is curious – from students to professionals who want to get acquainted with futuristic technology that’s already available today. No technical background required!
