Welcome to the BRAIN Lab! We are thrilled to share our passion for brain research and neurotechnology with you. Our team is committed to pushing the boundaries of science and technology to better understand the brain and improve human health. Thank you for visiting our website, and we hope you find our work as exciting and inspiring as we do. 

The BRAIN Lab proudly congratulates Anne Margarita Yu Ekey, a recent June 2025 graduate, for representing the lab at the 38th IEEE Region 10 Conference (TENCON 2025) held at the Sabah International Convention Centre, Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia, from October 27–30, 2025.

Marga presented the paper titled “Characterization of Physiological, Psychological, and Physical Stress Responses from a Wearable Technology,” which forms part of the BRAIN Lab’s ongoing research initiative on stress monitoring and modulation using wearable neurotechnology.

The IEEE TENCON is one of the flagship conferences of the IEEE Region 10 (Asia-Pacific), bringing together researchers, innovators, and professionals from across the globe to share cutting-edge advances in engineering and technology.

Group C3, an undergraduate research team from the BRAIN Lab, received the Best Undergraduate Research Award and the People’s Choice Award at the Annual ECE Open-Lab Research Exhibit 2025. Their project characterized physiological and neurophysiological responses to stress using data collected from wearable technologies. Leveraging manifold learning techniques, the team revealed distinctive patterns in stress-related brain and body dynamics, highlighting the potential of advanced data analysis in wearable neurotechnology.

Dr. Seigfred Prado was recently awarded the Teaching Excellence Award in recognition of his outstanding commitment to student learning, mentorship, and academic leadership. The award celebrates his innovative approach to teaching, particularly in bridging engineering and neuroscience education, and his dedication to shaping the next generation of researchers and professionals.

Dr. Seigfred Prado received the Best Oral Presenter Award at the 2025 Engineering Research Symposium for his presentation on the characterization of memory circuit dynamics in mouse models of Alzheimer’s disease. 

Lianna, Sam, and Jeps, postgraduate students of the BRAIN Lab, proudly represented the lab and the University at the IEEE Region 10 Conference (TENCON) 2024 held at Marina Bay Sands, Singapore.  They are joined by Academic Staff and other students from the UST Department of Electronics Engineering. Presenting their undergraduate research in both oral and poster sessions, they showcased innovative findings to an international audience, marking another milestone for the lab's commitment to excellence in research. 🌏📊✨
