Neural Engineering is an inherently new discipline that brings together engineering, physics, neuroscience and mathematics to design and develop brain-computer interface systems, cognitive computers and neural prosthetics. This two week workshop, primarily aimed at younger researchers, will bring together experts in these key areas to introduce and discuss concepts that underpin current research in Neural Engineering.

This workshop is the first scientific event supported by NETT.  NETT - Neural Engineering Transformative Technologies - is a Marie Curie Initial Training Network comprising of 18 European universities, research institutes and private companies who together will host 17 PhD students and 3 postdoctoral researchers over the next 4 years [www.neural-engineering.eu].
