Our Highlights…
From Mobile EEG to Creative Brain Week!
30/06/2025 In June we had the pleasure to host Melanie Klapprott and Lara Papin from the Neuropsychology Lab at Oldenburg University for Mobile EEG Seminar. TCIN celebrated its 25th anniversary with a Neuroscience Research Day where Anneliese, James and Prof. Lopez Valdes presented our latest research and perspectives. Also in June, another edition of Creative Brain Week where Prof. Lopez Valdes participated in a panel discussion on the neuroscience of activating kindness.
Global Brain Health Institute in Lima!
27/05/2024 This year’s GBHI annual meeting and AAIC Satellite Symposium took place in Lima, Peru. An amazing place for connections, learning, promotion of brain health and food. It was great to see the progress of GBHI projects in which we are involved. For an overview of those projects visit our GBHI Project page.
A March full of action
31/03/2025 This March was full with action in the lab!
Anneliese Walsh presented her PhD work at the early career researcher day of the Dementia Research Network Ireland. She won a best presentation award!
Sara Carta left for a secondment to Denmark at Eriksholm Research Center to spend time with her industry supervisors Emina Alickovic and Johannes Zaar. She is on her way back to wrap-up her PhD!
Together with the Reilly Lab, Neural Engineering at Trinity participated in the Trinity on The Move Day, sponsored by the School of Engineering. This event helped raising money for the Student Hardship Fund (you can donate too here).
Great start of the year!
25/01/2025 This January saw Sara Carta wrap-up the data collection for her Ph.D. In all, she carried out over 60 EEG data collection sessions, 40 Audiometries and 40 cognitive tests! Stay tuned for the results to come! Well done Sara! We also participated in the discussions around the The Brain: Past, Present and Future at the Robert Boyle Winter School.
School of Engineering Postgraduate Research Symposium
22/10/2024 James Bradshaw and Anneliese Walsh presented their research project at the 2nd Postgraduate Research Symposium of the School of Engineering at Trinity College Dublin. Anneliese Walsh received an award for best presentation among 1st and 2nd year PhD projects.
European Researcher’s Night 2024
27/09/2024 In collaboration with Anusha Moran and Nathan Shields (ex-lab member) our lab was present at European Researcher’s Night 2024 showcasing real-time EEG signal monitoring and our research projects to the public. This was possible thanks to funding from Trinity College START, the Trinity Trust and the School of Engineering.
New PhD students in the Lopez Valdes Lab
04/09/2024 James Kevin Bradshaw and Anneliese Walsh have started their PhD projects after each being awarded a Trinity Research Doctorate Award. Their projects will investigate social disengagement and brain health metrics with unobtrusive EEG technology. on the 18/10/2024 we held the official kick-off meeting with the presence of Professor Preben Kidmose as a collaborator in these two projects from the Center for ear-EEG at Aarhus University in Denmark.
IEEE EMBS Conference in Orlando
15/07/2024 Alex Kennedy presented his MAI work on Brain Synchronization Dynamics at the IEEE EMBS Conference in Orlando, Florida. The Neural Engineering Group also had representation from the Reilly Lab with Professor Richard Reilly and Thomas Hartigan. Great space to meet collaborators and friends!
