This weekend 5 of our members (Carola Caivano, Matteo Allione, Matteo Gallo, Marco Casari, Michele Romani) challenged themselves by participating in the hackathon https://www.br41n.io/ organised by g.tec medical engineering GmbH.
It was a formative and motivating experience that allowed us to explore the application of CNNs in the field of Brain computer interface, in particular in P300 speller challenge.
The results we gained were very accurate and extremely significant and encourage us to carry out a line of research to exploit Transformer models for Causal Language generation, in order to improve the efficiency of spellers for patients who are unable to communicate autonomously.
