Brain-computer interface (BCI)
workshop and hands-on seminar
May 13 at Cyclotron Research Centre
BCI research is one of the most fascinating fields in neuroscience. Mental tasks or focused attention lead to changes in the brain's activity patterns which can be measured, analyzed and classified. The transformation of such changes into a control signal allows to communicate or control external devices just by thinking. An amazing technology helping patients who are about to loose any other ability to interact with their environment. This workshop informs about the major methodological approaches, technical issues, application examples, application to patient in a minimally conscious state, opportunities and limitations, current trends and many more.
This workshop is intended for people interested in learning the new skill of BCI communication and for people who are interested in combining BCI technology in their field of expertise. In a practical session, an introduction of hard- and software used for research and development will be given. Participants can perform live experiments such as P300-spelling, motor imagery BCI for rehabilitation and SSVEP control.
Attendance is free of charge, but registration is required because space is limited.
