General information

The Brain-Computer Interface research area is a fast expanding field in the world of biomedical engineering. BCIs have been developed during the last years for people with severe disabilities to improve their quality of life. Applications of BCI systems comprise the restoration of movements, communication and environmental control. However, recently BCI applications have been also used in different research areas e.g. in the field of virtual reality.

We invite you to this BCI Workshop on 15th of November 2008. This workshop will give you the chance to see live BCI experiments and to learn more about g.tec's hard- and software products during the SFN 2008. This year a special focus will be on Virtual Reality control with the BCI.

Main topics

The workshop

• gives insight into the hardware for BCI research: g.USBamp, g.BSamp, g.MOBIlab+
• gives insight into the software for BCI research: MATLAB, Simulink, C API, BCI2000
• enables you to run your own experiments
• gives you the chance to analyze your BCI performance
• shows how to control a smart home environment
• shows avatar control with the BCI
  

Speaker

• Christoph Guger, explains principles of BCIs
• Stefan Schaffelhofer, expert for real-time programming
• Gerwin Schalk, Project Director and Chief Evangelist of BCI2000
