U13: Neural Interface Conference

描述（由申请人提供）：我们正在寻求神经接口会议（NIC）的多年支持，该会议将跨越2014-2018年。NIC将汇集参与神经接口研究和发展的顶尖科学家、工程师和临床医生，分享新发现，讨论交叉问题，并确定新兴的科学机会。NIC的具体目的是：1。为展示和讨论神经接口研究的最新发现提供一个论坛；2. 为从事其他生物医学领域的知名科学家的研究成果提供论坛，以确定神经接口研究的新概念和潜在合作；3. 促进来自少数群体的合格学生和研究人员在神经接口研究中的发展和持续参与；和4。通过网络和同行评审文献分别传播会议摘要和会议记录。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We are requesting multi-year support for the Neural Interfaces Conference (NIC) which will span 2014-2018. The NIC will bring together leading scientists, engineers, and clinicians who are involved in the research and development of neural interfaces to share novel findings, discuss cross-cutting issues, and identify emergent scientific opportunities. The Specific Aims of the NIC are: 1. To provide a forum for the presentation and discussion of the most recent findings in neural interfaces research; 2. To provide a forum for the findings of established scientists engaged in other biomedical areas to enable identification of new concepts for, and potential collaboration in, neural interfaces research; 3. To foster the development and continued involvement of qualified students and researchers from minority groups in neural interfaces research; and 4. To disseminate conference abstracts and proceedings through the web access and the peer-reviewed literature, respectively.
