Join us in Iceland for this 5-day on-site hands-on NeurotechEU Summer School to learn how physiological signals can be used to understand and regulate the human mind and body.

This is a blended intensive program (BIP) co-organized with Karolinska Institutet and Radboud University that combines flexible online learning with a short on-site training session, where participants will gain hands-on experience with psychophysiological recording and biofeedback methods used in research and clinical practice.

About the Summer School
This course introduces the field of Applied Psychophysiology and Biofeedback, with a focus on Heart Rate Variability (HRV). Students learn to measure, interpret, and apply psychophysiological signals to improve mental performance and well-being.

Topics include:

• HRV science and autonomic regulation
• Biofeedback techniques and tools
• Interventions using resonance breathing, cognitive tasks, and compassion practices
• Ethical and practical design of interventions

Key scientific questions:

• How does HRV reflect and influence mental states?
• How can HRV biofeedback support health and performance?
• What effects do different interventions have on psychophysiological responses?

Students will engage in both theory and hands-on lab work, culminating in an applied capstone project.

Format: Blended mobility, online preparation, and 5 days on-site.

Target audience: Master’s and PhD students in Psychology, Neuroscience, and Health Technology/Biomedical

Engineering.

How to apply: Please contact your local NeurotechEU representative if you are interested in attending this Summer School. The selection of the participants will be done by each partner university.

Dates:
On-site 1 June - 5 June
Online 21 May - 31 May and 6 June - 17 June
