You are cordially invited to make a contribution to the workshop entitled
“Gaze-independent brain-computer interfaces”, held on May 7 at the SAN 2011
conference.

The principal aim of research into brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) is to
restore motor ability and communication in patients suffering from loss of
voluntary muscle control. The fostering of BCI research in the past decade
has lead to substantial progress at different strands of BCI research and it
has lead to the exploitation of new experimental paradigms, advances in
signal processing and classification techniques, and the succesful
implementation of BCIs in patients' environments.

Recently, the issue of gaze (in)dependence of BCI systems is receiving
growing attention in the BCI community. Independence of eye gaze and other
muscle-based input signals is a crucial instrument for establishing a unique
niche for BCIs in neurorehabilitation research, beyond conventional
assistive technologies that rely on muscle-based physiological signals (such
as eye movements and EMG). The goal of the present workshop is to bring
together different strands of research addressing the (in)dependence of BCIs
of eye gaze and other muscle-based physiological signals, and the
robustification of present-day BCIs by advances in machine learning and
signal processing. To this end, we welcome empirical, theoretical, and
methodological accounts on the following topics:

* Machine learning and signal processing for BCI
* BCIs independent of eye gaze
* BCIs based on non-visual (eg, tactile, auditory) sensory modalities
* Integration of multiple sensory modalities
* Innovative BCI paradigms
* Comparative studies comparing BCIs with conventional assistive technology
(eg, eyetrackers)
* Evaluation of existing BCIs in clinical studies
* Neurophysiological basis of gaze-independent BCIs
* BCI switches

To contribute, please follow the instructions for oral submissions on the
SAN homepage (*http://www.san2011.org/*) and prepend 'BCI symposium: ' to
the title of your abstract.

Looking forward to meeting you in Thessaloniki!

self-paced movement data (EEG) for download?

Aaron Schurger — 2010-07-30T02:34:18

Hi,
I am looking for a freely downloadable EEG data set with self-paced
movement data. I think there was one available as part of a past BBCI
competition, but the bbci website seems to be unavailable. Does anyone
know of a freely-accessible EEG data set with self-paced movement
data?
Thanks,
Aaron Schurger
