Over the course of 24 hours, four teams developed brain\u2013computer-interface (BCI) projects. Altogether, 95 teams from 80 countries competed, underscoring the truly global scope of this event. We even had a small kids-team from the local <i>Marienschule<\/i> that took first place in the childrens <i>Gaming<\/i> section.<\/p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The projects ranged from generating music in response to EEG-derived emotional states, to controlling video games through ear-muscle signals, to enabling a collaborative robot to adjust its behaviour based on the user\u2019s stress levels.
