Revolutionizing Security Operations Centers (SOCs) with SYMBIOTIK

In an era where digital technologies permeate every aspect of society and the economy, cybersecurity has emerged as a critical concern. The proliferation of cyber threats poses significant risks to organizations, jeopardizing not only their digital infrastructure but also their long-term objectives and fundamental freedoms. As these threats become increasingly sophisticated and diverse, the need …

First Reporting Meeting

All partners gathered together in Barcelona to meet our Project Officer and reviewers. We tracked progress after one year of work, during a 9 to 5 interview session. The session was intensive, with lots of presentations and questions afterwards. The constructive feedback we received has been amazing. We are looking forward to the second year!

The Future of Brain-Computer Interfacing for Information Visualization

Conventionally, control of computing devices has been done through manual interaction, mostly in the form of using a  mouse and keyboard. As technology evolves we observe additional ways of interacting with the machine, i.e. motion sensors, speech recognition, eye tracking etc, enhancing the capabilities and experience of the user. The next step to this evolution …

Evaluating a Large Language Model on Searching for GUI Layouts

Recent research has investigated the use of Large Language Models (LLMs) to engineer Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) using Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI). We have developed an LLM-based tool, called Instigator, for the purpose of facilitating the search for GUI layouts in this study. The purpose of our study was to determine whether such a tool …

Signal Processing in Brain Computer Interfaces

Brain Computer Interfaces (BCIs) may revolutionize the way humans interact with computers by establishing a direct communication pathway with our brains. At the core of these interfaces there is signal processing, which plays a pivotal role in extracting valuable information from brain activity. In this post, we delve into the fascinating world of signal processing …
