year has been unexpectedly complicated for all of us. We have had an
ongoing threat to public health with a strong impact on economic
activity in every country and organization. Scientific endeavors have
been delayed in most research fields, and many research conferences and
symposiums have been postponed or canceled. The aim of this call is to
catalyze and mobilize research in human behavior and brain-computer
interfaces during this difficult time, by supporting outstanding
research projects for 2 years of duration starting in 2021. This is our
way of giving back to the scientific community and helping research
projects start-up in the wake of COVID 19. Bitbrain's mission is to
boost real-world research and real-life applications that enhance
people's lives. For this reason, we particularly welcome project
proposals from academia or research institutions that are exploring
neuroscience research in real-world settings.</span></p><p style="margin:0px;font-size:14px;line-height:24.5px"> </p><p style="margin:0px;font-size:14px;line-height:24.5px"><span style="text-decoration-line:underline"><strong><span style="font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(51,51,51)">The Awards</span></strong></span></p><p style="margin:0px;font-size:14px;line-height:24.5px"><strong><span style="font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(51,51,51)">This
