1. Closed-Loop Biohybrid Platforms for Conditioned-Response Acquisition and Dopaminergic Reinforcement After Neural Fatigue

Joshi, H., Barodia, P., & Bharath, B. (2026)

1st International Conference on Clinical Neuropsychology and Cognitive Neuroscience — “Brain Health: From Theory to Practice”

The combination of biological neural networks and robotic systems is a revolutionary way to learn about neuroplasticity and how the brain and behaviour are connected. Presently, neuropsychological rehabilitation frequently depends on external behavioural interventions; however, biohybrid models enable the direct observation of the role of neuromodulators, such as dopamine, in enhancing learning and motor control. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of closed-loop biohybrid platforms in the acquisition of conditioned responses and the function of dopaminergic reinforcement in the restoration of function subsequent to neural fatigue. By replicating these biological processes, we establish a translational framework for forthcoming neuropsychological interventions and the advancement of brain–machine interfaces (BMIs).

2. Brains in Play: An Exploration of Children’s Neural Engagement During Hands-On STEM Making vs Screen Time

Barodia, P., Joshi, H., & Borah, A. (2026)

Unconference by Arisa Foundation

With childhood shifting more towards digital activities, the question arises as to what the effect of technology is on attention, creativity, and emotional well-being. This project incorporates the community into a live investigation: how does the brain of a child react differently when playing with screens compared to playing with physical objects by building, touching, and solving problems?

Over two days, we operated an EEG counterbalanced, within-subjects study of eight children (ages 7–12), obtaining real-time neural activity at four parallel 24-channel EEG recordings. Every child was involved in both conditions — mobile/tablet screen time and play with a hands-on STEM kit — while behavioural changes such as curiosity, frustration, joy, and problem-solving insight were also recorded in the moment. The neural patterns of interest centred on the Theta/Beta ratio, in which sustained attention takes place.

Conclusively, this paper is a starting point for a more extensive debate regarding the types of environments that are effective in helping children to thrive. With evidence based on actual neural data, the session encourages participants to rethink technology, pedagogy, and creative practice by prioritising care, cognitive well-being, and the wisdom of embodied play.
