General information

The Virtual Reality is a technology that allows a user to interact with the computer-environment. This interaction may happen via biosignals, like ECG, EEG, ECoG ... The focus of the workshop ist the combination of the Virtual Reality and physiological measures including the BCI. This workshop shows a few ways of the physiological monitoring and VR research, intruduce the hard- and software, that you will need for such experiments and how to handle them.

We invite you to visit this Workshop on 19th and 20th of June 2008. This workshop should give you the chance learn more about physiological monitoring and g.tec's hard- and software products.
