STEM Workshop: Introducing Cognitive Science.

Introducing Cognitive Science to youth of the country!

The STEM workshop is annually held at Dayalbagh Educational Institute for school students in the region. This is to introduce to them the present trends in science and research. We took it to ourselves to enlighten the students about various aspects of Cognitive science as well as its applications in real world based on our research tools. 

This is our team headed by Prof. C.M. Markan pictured in the
Cognitive Science Lab, DEI, Agra after the workshop.

Watch our supervisor, Prof. Markan talking to young students.

Throughout the workshop talks, the students were introduced with the facts related to the most interesting organ Brain, as well as its fascinating evolution through time. 

Interesting tools were demonstrated to the students. In the picture is Open BCI tool being worn by a team member performing different cognitive activities to show changes in neural activities. 


Each member of the Cognitive Science Research Group shared their experience as well as the devices they have worked on. Some students performed real time experiments which really amazed the students. Our final year student also shared her journey which inspired the students to know more about this field. The students were delighted to attend such a wonderful session and gain knowledge from it. 


We have always been very interested in sharing our experience that we gain at the lab with students as well as teachers anywhere. To keep updated with our work, follow us on LinkedIn and Blogger!

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

Want to control your overpowering boss? Bring her to our lab!

Cognitive Science enthusiasts at DEI, Agra welcome you to their lab to help you discover the hidden potential of the piece of meat on your head.   Every day, we bring new problems to our table that help us demystify the science of how our brain does it all! In pursuit of getting answers to our questions about the brain's potential, we discovered the student-friendly neuroscience product kit offered by  Backyard Brains , USA.  In this  'neuroscience for everyone' kit , we find interesting tools made out of simple Arduino-based designs. The first one that we discuss here today is the  Human-human interface  (HHI). You must have heard about Brain-Computer Interface (BCI), here is the new thing, HHI which lets two humans be interfaced through simple wire connectors.  HHI is a small, portable device that works on simple principles of electricity. The muscular power produced by the 'controller' person on clinching their fist with these electro...
