🚀 Exciting Updates from BIOSE Research Center! 🚀

We are delighted to share two major achievements from our team:

🔹 Journal Publication in IEEE Access (Q1, Impact Factor: 3.6)
Our latest work, “SSTAF: Spatial-Spectral-Temporal Attention Fusion Transformer for Motor Imagery Classification”, has been published in IEEE Access!

👉 Read here: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/11146742

This research introduces a novel transformer-based framework that fuses spatial, spectral, and temporal attention for enhanced brain–computer interface (BCI) performance, advancing motor imagery classification for neuro-rehabilitation and assistive technologies.

🔹 Conference Presentation in Chicago, USA
Our paper, “Soft Robotic Bellow-Controlled Arm Using Multi-DOF Control System,” was presented at the International Conference on Emerging Trends in Computing & Electronics (INTCEC 2025).

Presented by Mahin (BME, BUET) and Tanvir (EEE, BRACU), the work demonstrates a low-cost, flexible, and multi-degree-of-freedom soft robotic arm design, opening up new possibilities for rehabilitation and assistive robotics.

👏 Huge congratulations to our researchers for showcasing BIOSE innovation on global platforms. We remain committed to bridging AI, robotics, and healthcare for impactful solutions.

🌟 Congratulations to Md Jobayer 🌟

We are thrilled to share that Mr. Jobayer, an outstanding Research Assistant of the BIOSE Research Center, has been accepted into the MSc in Biomedical Engineering program at Linköping University, Sweden! 🇸🇪🎓

We are incredibly proud of his accomplishments and confident that he will continue to thrive and make meaningful contributions in the healthcare system in the years ahead.

Wishing you all the best in Sweden, BIOSE is cheering you on! 🚀

🌙✨ Eid al-Adha Mubarak from BIOSE Research Center!

May this blessed occasion bring peace, prosperity, and joy to you and your loved ones!
