(1) g.BSanalyze Student Edition for EURO 999
In order to optimally support MSc and PHD students a graduand version of g.BSanalyze - the MATLAB powered biosignal data processing toolbox - has been released.

The Student Edition of g.BSanalyze is designed to provide a low-cost biosignal data processing tool for teaching purposes and students or graduands. It enables the user to perform basic data preprocessing and transformation steps as well as simple data analyses. Important methods to investigate data like the computation of power spectra, data averaging or bandpower estimation can be performed. A robust method for automatic QRS complex detection for ECG signals and the computation of different HRV (heart rate variability) time-domain parameters is also included. Data import of various data formats and a powerful visualization further supports the students to carry out successfully their projects. Advanced MATLAB-users benefit from the possibility to include their own functions and routines. If the customer decides to upgrade his Student Edition to the full g.BSanalyze base version or g.BSanalyze toolboxes, the price of the Student Edition will be fully credited.

(2) g.MOBIlab Programming API. Extend and program your own biosignal data processing on the Pocket PC
The Application Programming Interface (API) for g.MOBIlab (the mobile biosignal data acquisition system) enables you to create your own sophisticated biosignal acquisition and data processing applications on a Pocket PC. Sample programs and the well documented source code in the electronic manual may serve as a template for your programs and optimally supports you developing mobile biosignal data processing programs. Debugging the programs directly on the Pocket PC or on the built-in emulator accelerates the development process.

(6) 2nd Brain-Computer-Interface Workshop and Training Course at the Institute for Human Computer Interfaces, Graz, Austria.
World leading experts and leaders of Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) reseach groups give insights in the current ongoing research work. A theoretical part of the workshop provides information about necessary requirements and prerequesites for successful BCI implementation and research. A practical part enables you to actively use different BCI systems and discuss informally your problems with the experts. A round table discussion completes the 2 days intensive working weekend.
