BrainGurion 6.0
Brain-Machine Interface Hackathon
24 Hours, 100 driven students.
Together, our participants will prototype breakthrough technologies that upgrade human abilities—think real‑world SUPERPOWERS powered by cutting‑edge human‑machine interfaces. By pushing the very limits of human performance, they’ll explore what’s possible when biology meets technology. Guided by top‑tier mentors and armed with state‑of‑the‑art equipment, each team will turn bold ideas into working demos before the clock runs out.
The Challenge
Within 24 hours, you and your teammates will design, prototype, and pitch a product that measurably upgrades a human ability—turning today’s limitations into tomorrow’s superpowers.
The neurological component can be expressed by control of the product or feedback. The product can be digital or physical, and may be supported by a combination of technologies, such as EEG, Virtual Reality (VR), Microcontrollers and Robots.
See It in Action!
Innovation
