Third place in the Young Scientist Competition at the Workshop Biosignals 2026 in Innsbruck

At this year's Biosignals workshop in Innsbruck, M.Sc. Hannes Oppermann, a doctoral student at BMTI, won third place in the Young Scientist Competition.

In his contribution “Alpha-Band Entrainment and Resonance Effects during Intermittent Photic Stimulation in Single-Trial EEG,” he examines how the human brain responds to rhythmic visual stimulation. Using single-trial analyses, he investigated the EEG signals in the time-frequency domain. In doing so, he successfully identified and characterized transient events that remain hidden in conventional averaging methods. This research makes an important contribution to the understanding of so-called “photic driving” effects.

The work was carried out in the group of Biomedical Engineering as part of the PollenNet project.
