During my time at DFKI I have been supervising several Bachelor and Master students at the University of Saarland (UdS) with the chair of Prof. Dr. Antonio Krüger and the Ubiquitous Medial Technology Lab (UMTL). Beside supervising students theses I am regularly offering seminars at UdS on Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) with our Cognitive Assitstants BCI-Lab. Within this seminars we teach students the basics of BCIs, show them our demonstrators in the lab and let them do hands-on projects with our BCI hardware to experience the fascinating field of BCIs.
