2015 International Workshop on Clinical Brain-Machine Interface Systems, Tokyo, Japan, March 13-15, 2015

PI: Hochberg, Leigh R.提案号：1504663脑机接口（bmi）解释神经信号，为用户提供一种控制外部设备的新方法。bmi有可能改善世界各地数以百万计因神经损伤而导致瘫痪或肢体丧失的患者的生活质量，使他们能够恢复沟通、运动或感觉功能。这项技术的开发是一项多学科的努力，涉及科学家、工程师、计算机科学家、医生和其他医疗保健提供者。2015年临床脑机接口国际研讨会（CBMI）将在日本东京那道厅举行，将为来自不同背景的学生和专业人员提供一个相互学习的场所，并制定将bmi从研究实验室转化为临床的策略。该奖项由三个项目联合颁发。(1)生物医学工程，隶属于化学、生物工程、环境和运输系统司（工程部）；(2)化学、生物工程、环境和运输系统司（工程部）的一般和与年龄有关的残疾工程；(3)新兴研究与创新前沿（EFRI）（工程局）。2015年CBMI会议将召集专家演讲和临床BMI研究的领导者，包括康复临床医生，神经科医生，神经外科医生，工程师，神经科学家，监管科学家和行业代表。除了主题演讲和全体会议之外，会议将确保有充足的时间进行讨论和研讨会，主题包括：家庭中的bmi；美国、欧洲和亚洲BMI研究路线图；结合神经调节和BMI策略；BMI研究的神经伦理和法律维度；还有其他许多人。会议结束时，将准备一份共识报告，以传播国际研讨会的研究结果，并提交给《神经修复学前沿》（Frontiers in Neuroprosthetics）——一本致力于BMI和神经修复学研究的一流电子开放获取期刊。

PI: Hochberg, Leigh R. Proposal Number: 1504663Brain machine interfaces (BMIs) interpret neural signals to provide users with a new method for controlling external devices. BMIs have the potential to improve the quality of life for millions of individuals around the world with neurological impairments leading to paralysis or limb loss, enabling the restoration of communication, movement, or sensory function. The development of this technology is a multidisciplinary endeavor, involving scientists, engineers, computer scientists, physicians, and other healthcare providers. The 2015 International Workshop of Clinical Brain-Machine Interfaces (CBMI), to be held at Nadao Hall, Tokyo, Japan, will provide a venue for students and professionals from diverse backgrounds to learn from each other and to develop a strategy to translate BMIs from research laboratories to the clinic. This award is being made jointly by three Programs. (1) Biomedical Engineering, in the Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental and Transport Systems Division (Engineering Directorate); (2) General and Age-Related Disabilities Engineering, in the Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental and Transport Systems Division (Engineering Directorate); and (3) Emerging Frontiers in Research and Innovation (EFRI) (Engineering Directorate).The 2015 CBMI conference will convene expert speakers and leaders in clinical BMI research, including rehabilitation clinicians, neurologists, neurosurgeons, engineers, neuroscientists, regulatory scientists and industry representatives. Beyond the keynote and plenary lectures, the conference will ensure ample time for discussion and workshops on topics including: BMIs in the home; roadmaps for BMI research in the US, Europe, and Asia; combining neuromodulation and BMI strategies; neuroethical and legal dimensions of BMI research; and many others. At the conclusion of the meeting, a Consensus Report for disseminating the findings of the international workshop will be prepared and submitted for peer-review to Frontiers in Neuroprosthetics -- a first-tier electronic open access journal devoted to studies of BMI and neuroprosthetics.
