Sandra Cancino: Currently, my research involves the design of a BCI system based on deep-neural networks incorporating prior information about brain functionality. It is expected that this constrain may help not only to improve the performance of the system but also will provide meaningful inside on what the algorithm selects as important features. My research interests are in the areas of machine learning, biomedical engineering, signal processing, computer vision. [ Email: scancino@uninorte.edu.co ]

Aura Polo: Currently working on estimation and removal of artifacts in EEG signals for BCI applications. By now the state of the art is being reviewed and estimation methods for blind source separation are being explored to probe them with real EEG signals. Our aim is to find a robust method which allows more accurate measurements, removing especially the signal in the reference electrode. I am interested in biomedical signal processing and instrumentation, BCIs, Engineering Applications on Rehabilitation and Education in Engineering. [Email: aura.polollanos@gmail.com ]

Jorge Cristancho: I am an electronics engineer from Universidad Industrial de Santander, with a Master degree in Electronics Engineering from Universidad del Norte. My areas of interest are biomedical signal processing (EEG, MR images), brain-computer interfaces, probabilistic graphical models and hardware design for biomedical engineering.

Cristian Olivares: I am currently a Master student in the department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering at Universidad del Norte. My interests are brain-computer interfaces, biomedical signal processing and machine learning algorithms for classification of biomedical signals. [ Email: ocristian@uninorte.edu.co]

Dayan Mendez: I love Brain computer interfaces(BCI) and Machine learning!. I am building a BCI for control of a video game. I am student of Electronic Engineering. I am interested in learning about brain processes, human behavior and how those brain processes explain the way people act in daily life. [Email: dayanm@uninorte.edu.co ]

Haroldo Velez: My research work is in Brain Computer Interfaces (BCI) based off EEG signals. More specifically, Sensori-Motor Rhythms (SMRs) are used for discriminating motor imaginary. The goal of my research is to enable computers to recognize the imagination of left/right hand movements by developing computer algorithms for automatic analysis of EEG signals. I am also interested in understanding the human brain behavior and finding the physiological meaning for everything that is use to build a BCI. [Email: hlora@uninorte.edu.co ]
