DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal requests partial support for an International Workshop on Clinical Brain-Machine Interface (BMI) Systems aimed to identify and discuss challenges and potential solutions leading to the development and deployment of interface systems based on neural activity in clinical applications. The meeting will be held at The Methodist Hospital Research Institute (TMHRI) at the Texas Medical Center, and organized by the University of Houston, Houston, Texas on February, 2013. There are three aims: 1) To develop a Strategic Plan ('Roadmap') for implementation of BMI systems in clinical research referring to researchers, practitioners, program directors/managers at federal agencies, the industry, and the end-users; 2) A Consensus Report for disseminating the findings of the meeting will be prepared upon the conclusion of the workshop and submitted for peer-review to Frontiers in Neuroprosthetics -- a first- tier electronic open access journal devoted to studies of brain-machine interfaces (BMI) and neuroprostheses; and 3) Outreach to outstanding junior faculty, postdocs and graduate students from under-represented groups, including women and minorities will ensure a wide range of experiences and views. We will innovate the workshop format by combining (single track) state-of-the-art talks by senior and junior faculty, clinicians, and speakers from federal agencies with hands-on demonstrations and audience-driven discussions whose content is provided by the participants themselves - based on the very successful unconference format pioneered by Google, Nature and O'Reilly Media.

描述(由申请人提供)：本提案请求部分支持临床脑机接口(BMI)系统国际研讨会，该研讨会旨在确定和讨论导致临床应用中基于神经活动的接口系统开发和部署的挑战和潜在解决方案。会议将于2013年2月在德克萨斯州医学中心的卫理公会医院研究所(TMHRI)举行，由德克萨斯州休斯顿大学组织。它有三个目标：1)制定在临床研究中实施BMI系统的战略计划(‘路线图’)，涉及研究人员、从业者、联邦机构、行业和最终用户的项目主管/经理；2)研讨会结束后，将准备一份传播会议结果的共识报告，并提交给神经假体前沿同行审查--一种致力于脑机接口(BMI)和神经假体研究的一流电子开放获取期刊；3)向来自代表不足群体的杰出初级教员、博士后和研究生，包括妇女和少数群体，进行外联，以确保获得广泛的经验和观点。我们将创新研讨会的形式，将来自联邦机构的高级和初级教师、临床医生和演讲者的(单轨)最新演讲与动手演示和观众驱动的讨论相结合，这些讨论的内容由参与者自己提供-基于谷歌、自然和O‘Reilly Media开创的非常成功的非会议形式。
