Synopsis
Brain‐computer interfaces (BCIs) use brain signals to communicate a user's intent. Because they do not depend on peripheral nerves and muscles, they can be used by people with severe motor disabilities to express their wishes to the outside world just by thinking. Development of BCIs is a complex undertaking that requires appropriate understanding and advances in the fields of neuroscience, computer science, engineering, and psychology.|
BCI2000 is a general-purpose system for brain-computer interface (BCI) research that facilitates systematic investigations in this area. It can also be used for data acquisition, stimulus presentation, and brain monitoring applications. It has been in development since 2000 and is currently in use by approximately 200 laboratories around the world. The present workshop is the 4th event organized by the BCI2000 project, following workshops held in Albany, New York, USA (June 2005), Beijing, P.R. China (July 2007), and Rome, Italy (December 2007). The first day of the workshop consists of hands-on practical tutorials that implement the two most common BCI approaches currently used in humans. Six BCI systems will be available throughout the day, and participants will operate them under supervision of tutors. The second day consists of technical discussions that describe how to customize BCI2000 for specific research and application purposes. |
