CSRG in Consciousness Conferences

Our group has worked on variety of topics since 2019 when the Cognitive Science lab was established.

We started with presentation at National Systems Conference (NSC) organized by Systems society of India (https://www.sysi.org/nsc.html) in 2019. Two MSc (Physics) students presented their work in the field of Cognitive Science at IIT Roorkee during NSC 2019. Their papers are published in SpringerLink conference proceedings.

A PhD scholar in Cognitive science from our lab presented at Paritantra 2019 organized by Dayalbagh Educational Institute and received Best Paper Award.

A second-year BSc Cognitive science student presented her work at NSC 2021 to win the title of Best Paper Award in the category of Biological systems and consciousness.

Two first-year BSc cognitive science students were selected for Best Poster Presenters at Dayalbagh Science of Consciousness, 2022 (winter session) organized by Dayalbagh Educational Institute, Agra in collaboration with University of Waterloo supported by other international universities. Several other posters from the lab were displayed for public viewing the the online platform of DSC 2022 found at https://dsc-dei.in/posters/.

Two third-year cognitive science research students were invited to give talks in University Grant Commission-Special Assistance Program (UGC-SAP) 2022 at Dayalbagh Educational Institute.

Upcoming conferences: In year 2022, NSC and DSC conferences are going to be held in month of September-October. Three of lab students are selected for presenting their papers at NSC 2022. While three different papers are selected for presentation at DSC 2022.

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

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 t
