WORKSHOP: Doctoral Consortium at the 2019 International Graphonomics Conference: Graphonomics and Your Brain on Art, Creativity and Innovation

这是资金提供支持博士联盟（研讨会）在2019年国际会议的Graphonomics和你的大脑艺术，创造力和创新。会议的目标是确定在艺术，设计，科学，工程，医学和人文学科的联系中从事融合研究的挑战和机遇，以促进创造力和创新，从而找到解决复杂社会挑战的新方法（例如，推进个性化学习，增强虚拟现实，逆向工程大脑，工程工具的科学发现，工程更好的疗法）。该会议将于6月9日至13日在Live Aqua Cancun举行，由PI（休斯顿大学）与国际石墨学学会（IGS）合作组织。 该议程旨在总结最新技术水平，促进观众驱动的讨论，其内容由参与者自己提供，并促进协作，辩论和使用移动的脑体成像（MoBI）技术的交互式人在回路演示。 为此，会议将坚持单轨形式，由一名科学家/工程师和一名艺术家共同主持专题会议，每次会议发言者不超过4人。 互动演示、脑机接口黑客马拉松以及应对重大挑战的艺术科学表演将增加会议的广泛影响力。 《脑机接口》杂志的特刊将促进会议报告和黑客设计结果的广泛传播。 博士生联盟将包括几个相互交织的活动，为学员提供一个机会，在一个跨学科会议的背景下，在一个杰出的国际研究人员，艺术家和创新者的指导下，探索和发展他们的研究兴趣。 为确保多样性，组织者将积极从代表性不足的群体，包括妇女和少数民族中招募学生参与者，每个机构最多两名学生（如果两名学生，其中一名必须是女性），为选定的研究生和博士后研究员设立的博士联合会将为参与者提供一个探索和发展其共同研究兴趣的机会。 它将包括一个关于脑机接口的特别会议，一个MoBI研讨会，一个脑机接口黑客会议和一个海报会议。学员还将在会议期间担任抄写员，撰写小组互动摘要和最后的小组简报，以加强他们的口头和书面沟通技巧。摘要将描述所面临的挑战，并概述解决这些挑战的方法，包括需要进行哪些聚合研究以了解挑战背后的基础科学，促进跨学科合作和创新的拟议计划，推理以及对社会的好处。 博士生联盟将与会议活动完全整合;被选中的申请人将获得旅行支持（往返机票和全包式住宿）以及减少注册。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This is funding to provide support for a Doctoral Consortium (workshop) at the 2019 International Conference of Graphonomics and Your Brain on Art, Creativity and Innovation. The conference's goal is to identify the challenges and opportunities for engaging in convergent research at the nexus of the arts, design, science, engineering, medicine and the humanities to promote creativity and innovation leading to novel approaches to solving complex societal challenges (e.g., advancing personalized learning, enhancing virtual reality, reverse engineering the brain, engineering tools for scientific discovery, and engineering better therapies). The meeting, which will be held at Live Aqua Cancun on June 9-13, is organized by the PI (University of Houston) in collaboration with the International Graphonomics Society (IGS). The agenda is designed to summarize the state of the art, to promote audience-driven discussions whose content is provided by the participants themselves, and to facilitate collaboration, debate and interactive human-in-the-loop demonstrations using mobile brain-body imaging (MoBI) technology. To these ends, the conference will adhere to a single-track format with thematic sessions that are jointly chaired by a scientist/engineer and an artist, with no more than 4 speakers per session. Interactive demonstrations, a brain-computer interface hackathon, and Art-Sci performances that address grand challenges will add to the conference's broad impact. A special issue of the journal Brain-Computer Interfaces will promote wide dissemination of findings from the conference presentations and hackathon designs. The Doctoral Consortium will consist of several intertwined activities that will provide an opportunity for the trainees 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. To assure diversity, the organizers will actively recruit student participants from under-represented groups, including women and minorities, with a maximum of two students per institution (and if two then one must be a female).The Doctoral Consortium for selected graduate students and postdoctoral fellows will provide an opportunity for the participants to explore and develop their convergent research interests. It will include a special session on Brain-Machine Interfaces, a MoBI workshop, a brain-computer interface hackathon, and a poster session. The trainees will also strengthen their oral and written communication skills by serving as scribes, writing summaries of the group interactions and final group briefings during the conference. The summaries will describe the challenges addressed and outline the approach identified to solve them, including what convergent research needs to be done to understand the fundamental science behind the challenge, the proposed plan for promoting trans-disciplinary collaboration and innovation, the reasoning that went into it, and the benefits to society. The Doctoral Consortium will be fully integrated with the conference events; applicants who are selected will receive travel support (round-trip airfare and all-inclusive accommodations) as well as reduced registration.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
