The Essex BCI-NE Lab invites you to join our next monthly webinar:


Investigating brain interactions: a dual path to understanding and improving BCIs


Delivered by


Dr Marie-Constance Corsi

(NERV Lab, INRIA Paris, Paris Brain Institute)



The webinar will take place over Zoom on Wednesday, 17th December 2025, at 2pm UK time

RSVP: https://www.linkedin.com/events/7401719943039422464/





Abstract: Despite promising technological advancements, Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) still face challenges due to inter- and intra-subject variabilities in the ability to control such systems. Moreover, the neural mechanisms underlying BCI performance and training remain poorly understood. In this talk, I will present our recent findings on the use of brain interactions in BCIs, and in particular, how this enriched information can be used to both understand and improve BCIs.



Speaker Biography: Dr Marie-Constance Corsi is an INRIA research scientist at Paris Brain Institute in the NERV Lab. Her research currently focuses on the development of tools to address the “Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) inefficiency” issue, reflected by a non-negligible portion of users who cannot control the device even after extensive training. She essentially considers two main approaches: the search for neurophysiological markers of BCI training and the integration of multimodal data to enrich the information provided to the classifier. In 2025, she received the Early Career Award from the International BCI Society. She has previously served as secretary general of the French academic association promoting the advances in BCI, called CORTICO, and as co-chair of the Postdocs and Students Committee of the BCI Society.



The Essex BCI-NE Lab webinars series takes place on the first or second Wednesday of the month over Zoom and are open to all. Speakers are invited to talk about their research for 45-50 minutes followed by Q&A.



Where speakers allow it, we record the talks and make them available to everyone on our YouTube channel. You can watch previous talks at: https://www.youtube.com/@essexbcis
