Futuristic Science - About us

Cognitive Science Research Group is a tech research-led hobby-group at a traditional University in Agra, India

The group is a mix of enthusiastic brains, where students from all ages - first year undergraduates to PhD researchers - come and share ideas. It's a beautiful mix of disciplines, where people from all backgrounds - engineers to botanists - collaborate on innovative projects. 

We believe in originality of our ideas and novelty in their translational importance. We aim to make use of existing technology to create the products of the future. 


We are self-learners who are learning to become independent thinkers with each experience. 

This group is our hope as well as the motivation to create impact in the field of Cognitive Science. We  celebrate the spirit of enthusiastic research that we carry out here at our Cog Sci Research Lab in Agra. 

And to share it with the world, we bring ourselves here. Stay tuned!

About our Mentor

Professor C.M. Markan, a Physicist by degree and Cognitive Scientist by heart. Sir has been actively pursuing the field of cognitive science for more than ten years.  His academic journey can be traced in this link which describes his work in the field of physics and cognitive science:. Sir has been an integral part of the University for last thirty years, having received his graduate degree from the same University, he is giving it back to the institute by establishing world-class cognitive science research here.  More details about Sir can be found on the university website .  Sir overseeing our preparations for a visit of German Professors to our lab. Sir sharing our work with our visitors who were fascinated by our work. Group picture with Prof. Wolfgang from University of Kiel, Germany

Tools that help us peep into the brain: Part I

We are excited to share the variety of tools and devices we have got in our lab, it's a little showoff but we anyway like it! So first we get to see all the EEGs we have got in the lab. Let's start with the supreme of all - The 64-Channel ActiChamp Wet EEG worn by our favourite lab mate.  Next, we have OpenBCI Ultracortex "Mark IV". We still don't understand the reason why it's written like that, but for more info on that, check out their website (https://openbci.com). It's a pretty cool device when it comes to naming the components of this EEG, it's got channels named CytonDaisy, isn't it cool? We enjoyed working with the device on a few projects studying attention components in the brain. The next one and the last one on the list is Dreem 2 coming from https://dreem.com. And yes, that relates to 'Dream' because this one is a dry polysomnography device, at least this is what the website says. We tried to do some sleep research with it but ...
