The final stage of the second Iranian brain-computer interfaces competition was held, the second side event of the brain mapping symposium

The national brain mapping lab held the second Iranian brain-computer interfaces competition (iBCIC) in two parts, emphasizing the use of brain signals in rehabilitation.
