style="font-family:
"Helvetica",sans-serif;mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New
Roman"">In its 8th installment, the IEEE SMC
Brain-Machine Interface Workshop will take place in Miyazaki,
Japan, from Oct. 7-10, 2018. The theme for this year is
"Innovations in Systems, (Hu)Man, and Cybernetics, and their
Interplay as the Driving Forces for Next-Generation BMI
Systems"<br>
<br>
We invite contributions reporting the latest advances,
innovations, and applications in the field of BMI, including
affective BMIs, hybrid BMIs, deep learning for BMIs,
BMI-controlled robots, neurorehabilitation, and BMI for VR/AR
applications. These and other topics represent both challenges
to the field and a tremendous opportunity for collaborative
and multidisciplinary research, involving not only peers with
expertise in the field of BMI, but also those with expertise
in systems engineering, human-machine systems, cybernetics,
neuroscience, medicine, robotics, amongst other disciplines.
The four-day workshop will feature tutorials, panels, a
brain-computer interface hackathon (with over $4k in prizes),
a number of prominent invited speakers, and presentations of
contributed papers. All presented papers appear on IEEExplore!<br>
