NERV Lab

Left or right - which one is more connected?

Most say left, but here’s the twist: both have the same number of connections!

Why does one looks more connected? It’s all about #spatiality – how links occupy space.

Arthur Desbois from @nerv-lab.bsky.social gave a showcase of HappyFeat, a software designed to guide experimenters during the feature selection process

@fdevicofallani.bsky.social from @nerv-lab.bsky.social presented examples of the use of brain networks as features for BCI rehabilitation in stroke patients.

Interested in components selection in CSP and attending @bcisociety.bsky.social meeting? Stop by @c-dumas.bsky.social's poster (P1-D-50) this afternoon! @nerv-lab.bsky.social @institutducerveau.bsky.social : 🚀

Wondering whether aperiodic signals could inform about mechanisms underlying BCI training? Stop by Camilla Mannino's poster today at @bcisociety.bsky.social meeting! ⚡ @nerv-lab.bsky.social @institutducerveau.bsky.social

Our last talk of the day goes to Fabrizio de Vico Fallani, who discussed very nicely how to apply node-layer duality to better understand Alzheimer's disease. Incredible way to close our #NetBioMed2025 at #NetSci2025!

Honored to have been awarded the BCI Society Early Career Award 2025! 🧠✨

Huge thanks to the @bcisociety.bsky.social, and to all the brilliant people at @nerv-lab.bsky.social , @institutducerveau.bsky.social & Inria as well as mentors and peers in the broader BCI and neuroscience fields! 🙌

Amazing feeling when testing our nonvinvasive brain-computer interface prototype!
The opening of my hand is driven by the detection in real-time of my brain network changes!
Stay tuned for upcoming applications in stroke neurorehabilitation!
Kudos to @nerv-lab.bsky.social

Dynamic reconfiguration of aperiodic brain activity supports cognitive functioning in epilepsy: A neural fingerprint identification Neurology

A neural fingerprint approach to study brain dynamics in epilepsy. Spoiler: larger similarity with controls in dynamic reconfiguration corresponds to a better cognitive functioning!

Key highlights:
✅ Kinectome outperforms PCA in classification accuracy
✅ Resilient to data loss & robust across derived measures
✅ Clear feature interpretability
✅ Potential applications in sports training, physical rehabilitation, and more!

Our research explores how network theory-based coordination properties (the "kinectome") can improve classification performance in movement analysis, offering a more interpretable, generalizable, and adaptable approach compared to traditional methods like PCA.

Artificial Intelligence for automatic movement recognition: a network-based approach Introduction automatic movement recognition is often used to support various fields such as clinical, sports, and security. To date, there is a lack of a classification feature that is both interpreta...

From brain-computer interface to complexe systems and network science, we've made great progress and this is just the beginning! 🚀
A big thank you to everyone who has supported us on this journey. Here's to many more discoveries ahead!💡

🎊Celebrating our Inria Team's inauguration! 🥂
We finally came together to officially celebrate the inauguration of our Inria team!
It was a wonderful occasion to recognize the dedication, passion and teamwork that drive our research forward. 🚀

Happening today at 5pm Paris time !

Many of you asked for a recorded version of the talk.
Here you have it with a neat transcription, too!

A lab is born.
@nerv_lab team.inria.fr/nerv/ is science, but first of all, is about people.
A unique journey culminated in a delightful inauguration, with special guest @PaoloBartolome0 speaking about neuroscience.
