Short Biography

Vera Kaiser received the M.Sc. in psychology from the University of Graz, Austria, where she recently finished her PhD with the topic "Toward brain-computer interface as tool to promote rehabilitation of motor impairment after stroke". She is member of the Laboratory of Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI-Lab) at Graz University of Technology since 2007. Her research interests include basic research for brain-computer communication, brain-computer interface applications in patients, neurorehabilitation and neuronal correlates of cognitive processes.
