NEUROMATH: Advanced methods for the estimation of human brain activity and connectivity

The main objective of the NEUROMATH Workshop is to describe the state of the art in the use of advanced mathematical methods for the estimation of the human cortical activity and connectivity from non invasive neuroelectric and hemodynamic measurements. In the NEUROMATH workshop, through lectures and poster session, scientists are called to discuss their computational tools in order to offer a comprehensive approach to the problem of the estimation of brain activity and connectivity for sensory and cognitive tasks. The NEUROMATH workshop will offer a review of the advance neuroelectric and hemodynamic brain processing methods currently applied in several leading European and Asiatic research institutions. The NEUROMATH workshop will host scientists from 21 European countries, Japan and China.

BCI2000, facilitating brain-computer interface research.

Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) use brain signals to communicate a user's intent. These systems do not depend on peripheral nerves and muscles. Thus, they can be used by people with severe motor disabilities to express their wishes to the outside world just by thinking. BCIs exploit achievements in the field of neuroscience, neuropsychology, computer science, and engineering, to develop a novel communication tool, which is has possible application in the field of assistive technologies.
The first day will provide an overview of Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) technology. The format is a series of talks that will be delivered by BCI experts from the USA and Europe. The second day will provide hands-on practical tutorials using different BCI approaches implemented using BCI2000 software. In these tutorials, we provide several EEG-based BCI systems for use by workshop participants.

+ Venue:
Conference center of Fondazione Santa Lucia, via ardeatina 354, Rome Italy

+ Registration:
Participation is limited to 50 attendants. Pre-register by sending an email to workshop at bci2000.org. The registration fee is €50. Registration includes coffee breaks and workshop material.

+ Important dates:
Registration deadline:  November 1,   2007
Workshop dates:         December 5-6, 2007
