BBCI Winter School on Neurotechnology 2014

Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) and alternative applications of Neurotechnology based on sophisticated data analysis methods have become an active and flourishing field of research. Its attractiveness and also its complexity are based on the fact that this area requires concerted expertise and effort of a number of different fields including neurophysiology, machine learning, electrical engineering and psychology.

With the aim of fostering interdisciplinary training and exchange, we organize the BBCI Winter School 2014 on selected topics in BCI and Neurotechnology from February 24th to 28th. It has educational tutorial lectures in the morning sessions (two tutorials of 2h each, held by internationally renowned researchers), and practical hands-on sessions in the afternoons. A poster session will provide the participants the opportunity to exchange ideas about their work.

The total number of participants is limited to 60.
