Sixth International Brain-Computer Interface Meeting

脑机接口(BCI)技术对于严重运动障碍的人来说是一种潜在的强大的通信和控制选项，对于主流用户来说也是一种免提、免语音的控制选项。这项激动人心的工作的成功有赖于神经科学、心理学、工程学、数学、计算机科学和临床康复领域的研究人员之间密切而富有成效的多学科互动。为此，第六届国际脑机接口会议将于2016年5月30日至6月3日在加利福尼亚州太平洋格罗夫的Asilomar会议场地举行，主题为“脑-机接口的过去、现在和未来”。从1999年的第一届BCI会议开始，2016年的BCI会议将保留BCI会议系列的特点：独特、高度互动、对学生友好、静修般的氛围和高影响力的活动。这一NSF奖项将现场直播会议上的演讲。这将为那些对BCI感兴趣但无法参加的人提供途径。这包括所有可能没有时间或资金出席的人，但也包括大量阻碍或阻止他们出席的残障人士，正是将从本次会议提交的材料中受益最大的人群。NSF基金还将支持编辑和存档演示文稿，以便在会后在线观看。

Brain-computer interface (BCI) technology is a potentially powerful communication and control option for people with severe motor disabilities, as well as a hands-free, voice-free control option for mainstream users. The success of this exciting work depends on close and productive multidisciplinary interactions among researchers working in neuroscience, psychology, engineering, mathematics, computer science, and clinical rehabilitation. For this reason, the Sixth International Brain-Computer Interface meeting , themed "BCI Past, Present, and Future", will be held May 30 - June 3, 2016, at the Asilomar Conference Grounds, Pacific Grove, California. The 2016 BCI Meeting will retain the unique, highly interactive, student-friendly, retreat-like atmosphere and high-impact activities that are the hallmarks of the BCI Meeting series, starting with the first BCI meeting in 1999.This NSF award will provide live streaming of presentations made at the meeting. This will provide access to people who have interests in BCI but are unable to attend. This includes all who may not have the time or funds to attend, but also the large population of people with impairments that hinder or prevent their attendance, exactly the population that would most benefit from the material presented at this meeting. NSF funds will also support the editing and archiving of the presentations for viewing on-line after the meeting.
