Eighth International Brain Computer Interface Meeting

脑机接口(BCI)有可能为人们的通信和移动带来革命性的变化 有各种神经系统疾病和损伤。通过以下方式成功将BCI转化为实际临床应用 这样的人依赖于密切和富有成效的多学科互动，并需要承认和 关注一系列关键问题。国际BCI会议系列(1999、2002、2005、2010、2013、2016， 和2018)召集了对BCI研究至关重要的广泛研究小组和学科，并引发了许多 富有成效的互动和协作。在恢复和恢复 通信和移动性，因此2020年国际BCI会议将重点关注新兴应用和 以“BCI：下一个前沿”为主题的技术。这次会议将在一位领导下组织。 由BCI协会任命的项目委员会。会议将鼓励和促进这一发展 并通过以下具体目标将BCI转化为临床可行的设备： 1)召集并促进其合作的所有学科和群体之间的富有成效的互动 对BCI研究和开发的成功至关重要。没有其他地方能把他们聚集在一起。 2)简明而全面地介绍脑-机接口的研究和发展现状。 3)在有重点的讲习班上讨论对BCI研究和继续取得进展至关重要的主要主题 发展。将根据研讨会提案和摘要选择其他广泛感兴趣的主题 参与者提交的。 4)通过众多研究生的参与，促进新的研究人员的教育和发展 学生和博士后研究员。网络活动将鼓励新的和现有的之间的互动 研究人员，特别是针对代表性不足的研究人员群体。 5)通过《大脑计算机》杂志发表文章，最大限度地提高会议的即刻和长期影响 来自会议的同行评议的主要文章和重点评论的特刊的接口。 总之，这次会议将召集参与脑机接口的科学家、工程师、临床医生和政策制定者 研究和临床应用，审查该领域的现状，解决对进一步进展至关重要的关键问题， 促进青年科研人员的教育和参与。这次会议和由此产生的 综合性出版物将像它的前身一样，为BCI的研究和发展做出巨大贡献。

Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) have the potential to revolutionize communication and mobility for people with a variety of neurological conditions and injuries. Successful translation of BCIs to actual clinical use by such people depends on close and productive multidisciplinary interactions, and requires recognition of and attention to a set of crucial issues. The International BCI Meeting Series (1999, 2002, 2005, 2010, 2013, 2016, and 2018) convened a wide range of research groups and disciplines vital to BCI research and triggered many productive interactions and collaborations. Significant progress has been made towards restoring communication and mobility, so the 2020 International BCI Meeting will focus on emerging applications and techniques with the theme “BCIs: The Next Frontier”. The meeting will be organized under the leadership of a Program Committee appointed by the BCI Society. The meeting will encourage and facilitate the development and translation of BCIs into clinically- viable devices through the following specific aims: 1) Convene and foster productive interactions among all the disciplines and constituencies whose cooperation is crucial to successful BCI research and development. No other venue brings them all together. 2) Present a concise and comprehensive update of the current state of BCI research and development. 3) Address in focused workshops the major topics critical for continued progress in BCI research and development. Additional topics of broad interest will be chosen based on workshop proposals and abstracts submitted by participants. 4) Promote the education and development of new researchers through the participation of many graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. Networking events will encourage interactions between new and established researchers and particularly target underrepresented groups of researchers. 5) Maximize the immediate and long-term Meeting impact through publication by the journal Brain Computer Interfaces of a special issue of peer-reviewed primary articles and focused reviews derived from the meeting. In summary, this meeting will assemble scientists, engineers, clinicians and policymakers involved in BCI research and clinical use, review the present state of the field, address key issues critical to further progress, and promote the education and participation of young researchers. This meeting and the resulting comprehensive publications will, like its predecessors, contribute greatly to BCI research and development.
