Combined Cognitive Neuroscience/International Virtual Rehabilitation Conferences

描述(由申请者提供)：虚拟康复国际会议将与Eleanor Saffran认知神经科学会议一起举行。这些会议的目标是促进将技术转让给康复干预和跨学科传播新的研究成果。通过将科学家和康复专业人员(心理学家、言语治疗师、物理治疗师、职业治疗师、康复工程师、生物医学工程师)聚集在一起，分享他们关于技术和身体残疾的知识，我们在多学科研究方面取得进展，影响多学科治疗计划，促进临床实践中对技术使用的接受，并确定这些行动所产生的结果。ICVR是一个为期3天的会议，有6个平台和2个主持的海报会议。本次会议的主题包括：虚拟技术的运动康复、脑机接口、康复机器人、触觉接口、游戏机的新应用、虚拟现实中的心理和环境康复、虚拟现实中的认知康复、远程康复。萨夫兰会议是一个为期一天的会议，有6位受邀演讲者和两个讨论会。拟议的会议将鼓励面对面的交流，旨在将那些已经确定临床需求的人与那些已经开发出临床解决方案的人相匹配。我们预计这次会议将吸引一个充满活力的国际临床医生、研究人员和 产业合作伙伴将组成一个活动队列，以开发和应用虚拟技术用于康复。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The International Conference for Virtual Rehabilitation will be held in conjunction with the Eleanor Saffran Conference for Cognitive Neuroscience. The goals of these conferences are to promote the transfer of technology to rehabilitative interventions and dissemination of new research findings across disciplines. By bringing together scientists and rehabilitation professionals (psychologists, speech therapists, physical therapists, occupational therapists, rehabilitation engineers, biomedicl engineers) to share their knowledge about technology and physical disability, we make progress in multidisciplinary research, impact multidisciplinary treatment plans, facilitate acceptance of technology use in clinical practice, and identify the outcomes resulting frm these actions. ICVR is a 3 day conference with 6 platform and 2 moderated poster sessions. Topics covered at this conference include: motor rehabilitation with virtual technology, brain-computer interfaces, rehabilitation robotics, haptic interfaces, novel applications of game consoles, psychological and environmental rehabilitation in virtual reality, cognitive rehabilitation in virtual reality, tele-rehabilitation. The Saffran conference is a one day conference with 6 invited speakers and two discussion sessions. The proposed conferences will encourage face-to-face communications designed to match up those who have identified clinical needs with those who have developed clinical solutions. We anticipate that this conference will attract a vibrant group of international clinicians, researchers and industrial partners who will form a cohort of activity for the development and application of virtual technology to rehabilitation.
