WORKSHOP: Doctoral Consortium at the 2016 International Conference of Mobile Brain-Body Imaging (MoBI) and the Neuroscience of Art, Innovation and Creativity

这笔资金将为2016年移动脑-体成像（MoBI）国际会议和艺术、创新和创造力神经科学会议提供部分支持。会议的目标是确定参与创意艺术的挑战和机遇，以促进解决科学，工程，教育和医学领域复杂问题的新颖和创新方法。会议将于2016年7月24日至27日在坎昆的Live Aqua举行，由德克萨斯州休斯顿大学和德国柏林工业大学联合组织。该议程旨在审查最先进的技术，促进由参与者自己定义内容的以观众为导向的讨论，并促进合作和互动示范和表演。总结会议发现的路线图将作为《人类神经科学前沿》特刊的一部分提交同行评议，这是一本一流的开放获取电子期刊。参加会议博士联盟项目的研究生和博士后将获得小组互动的总结和最后的小组简报，其中描述了所解决的挑战，并概述了解决这些挑战的方法，包括需要做哪些研究来理解每个挑战背后的基础科学，促进跨学科合作和创新的计划，计划背后的原因，以及对社会的预期效益。在STEAM （STEM + Art）推广方面，会议与会者将代表广泛的经验和专业知识，从研究生到知名科学家、临床医生、艺术家、工程师、媒体和行业。博士联盟为选定的研究生和博士后提供了一个机会，让学生在跨学科会议的背景下探索和发展他们的研究兴趣，在一群杰出的国际研究人员、艺术家和创新者的指导下。组织者将积极从代表性不足的群体中招募学生参与者，包括女性和少数民族，并跨机构招募，每个机构最多有两名学生（如果是两名，则必须有一名女性）。为了实现MoBI的宏伟目标，组织者将召集来自学术界、医学界、艺术界和科技界的思想领袖和创新者，在为期3天的会议中探索这些学科交叉研究的神话、挑战和机遇，在一个独特的环境中进行讨论、互动和合作，从而制定一项利用创意艺术推动关键领域科学和工程发展的战略计划，包括：(a)揭示美学和创造性经验背后的基本神经机制（人脑的逆向工程）；(b)影响协作和创新的艺术、科学和工程挑战；(c)如何设计新的工具来理解和促进创新和创造力。会议将围绕以下几个主题进行组织：移动脑-体成像（MoBI）技术；认知、医学和教学应用；认知和情感脑机接口（bci）。

This is funding to provide partial support for the 2016 International Conference of Mobile Brain-Body Imaging (MoBI) and the Neuroscience of Art, Innovation and Creativity. The conference's goal is to identify the challenges and opportunities for engaging the creative arts to promote novel and innovative approaches for solving complex problems in science, engineering, education and medicine. The meeting, to be held at Live Aqua, Cancun on July 24-27, 2016, is being jointly organized by the University of Houston in Texas and the Technical University of Berlin, Germany. The agenda is designed to examine the state of the art, to promote audience-driven discussions whose content is defined by the participants themselves, and to facilitate collaborations and interactive demonstrations and performances. A roadmap summarizing the meeting's findings will be prepared and submitted for peer-review as part of a Special Issue in Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, a first-tier electronic open access journal. Graduate students and postdoctoral fellows, taking part in the Doctoral Consortium program at the conference, will capture summaries of the group interactions and final group briefings that describe the challenges addressed and outline the approach(es) identified for solving them, including what research needs to be done to understand the fundamental science behind each challenge, a plan for promoting trans-disciplinary collaboration and innovation, the reasoning behind the plan, and the expected benefits to society. In terms of STEAM (STEM + Art) outreach, conference attendees will represent a wide range of experience and expertise, from graduate students to well-established scientists, clinicians, artists, engineers, media, and industry. The Doctoral Consortium for selected graduate students and postdocs will provide an opportunity for the students to network while exploring and developing their research interests within the context of an interdisciplinary conference, under the guidance of a distinguished group of international researchers, artists and innovators. The organizers will actively recruit student participants from under-represented groups, including women and minorities, and across institutions, with a maximum of two students per institution (and if two then one must be a female). To achieve MoBI's ambitious goals, the organizers will convene thought leaders and innovators from academia, medicine, the arts, and technology to explore the myths, challenges and opportunities of research at the intersection of these disciplines in the context of a 3-day conference in a unique setting selected to foster discussion, interaction and collaboration, leading to a strategic plan that exploits the creative arts to advance science and engineering across critical areas, including: (a) uncovering the basic neural mechanisms underlying aesthetic and creative experiences (reverse engineering of the human brain); (b) the artistic, scientific and engineering challenges that affect collaboration and innovation; and (c) how to design new tools for understanding and promoting innovation and creativity. The conference will be organized around a number of tracks: Mobile Brain-Body Imaging (MoBI) Technologies; Cognitive, Medical and Pedagogical Applications; and Cognitive and Affective Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs).
