CNSP Initiative awarded CHARM EU Open Science Award!
The CNSP Initiative has received the CHARM-EU Open Science Recognition Award 2026. Congratulations to Giovanni Di Liberto and the Team! The award recognises CNSP's commitment to open, reusable and standardised resources for research on natural sensory processing.
First preprint from the CNSP Hackathon
Johanna Wilroth, Nancy Sotero Silva, Ali Tafakkor, Bruno de Avo Mesquita, Emily Y. J. Ip, Bonnie Lau, Jaimy Hannah and Giovanni M. Di Liberto investigate neural speech processing with functional near infrared spectroscopy. The preprint, “Investigating neural speech processing with functional near infrared spectroscopy: considerations for temporal response functions”, is the first output of the 2025 hackathon.
CNSP Hackathon in Maastricht
Our first CNSP Hackathon took place in Maastricht, where teams worked together on innovative tools and analyses to advance research in cognition and natural sensory processing. Thank you to everyone who attended!
