[Eeglablist] Call for Participation: 2011 International UKIERI Workshop on Fusion of Brain-Computer Interface and Assistive Robotics

[Juel]

2011 International UKIERI Workshop on Fusion of Brain-Computer Interface and Assistive Robotics, (7-8 July 2011, University of Ulster , Derry , UK ). 
 
Call for Participation 
We invite researchers from both brain-computer interface (BCI) and assistive robotics (AR) areas to 2011 Int.  UKIERI Workshop on Fusion of Brain-Computer Interface and Assistive Robotics (BCI-AR 20111) to be held on 7-8 July 2011 at Intelligent Systems Research Centre, University of Ulster, Derry, N. Ireland. 
 
The BCI-AR  workshop aims to bring together world-leading experts in both BCI and AR fields at one platform to discuss cutting edge developments and brainstorm ideas to provide new directions for an effective fusion of BCI and AR systems.  It will feature invited talks from  leading domain experts who will present and discuss their problems, as well as pose new research challenges that will be addressed by a panel of  researchers and practitioners.  Additionally, researchers will have the opportunity to present ongoing work in these areas in a poster session. We believe that this workshop will serve as a bridge between the traditional BCI and AR research communities and domain experts helping to facilitate a synergetic fusion of both the areas. This workshop is part of the UK India Education and Research Initiative (UKIERI) project Innovations in Intelligent Assistive Robotics.

Submission 
We invite extended abstract submissions for poster presentations at the workshop. The extended abstract should be prepared using the template attached here and submitted as an email attachment to ukieri2011 at ulster.ac.uk on or before May 15, 2011. Acceptance notification will be sent to the authors by June 10, 2011. A few interesting abstracts may also be selected for oral presentation. Submissions are welcome in both BCI and AR areas focusing on, but not limited to, following topics: 
• Hybrid and multi-modal BCIs 
• Self-adapting BCIs 
• Monitoring of mental states 
• Optimizing the adaptive interactions between BCIs systems and their users 
• Using BCIs to control neuroprostheses and assistive robotic systems 
• BCIs users and their needs 
• Optimizing the adaptive interactions between BCI systems and their users 
• Robotic wheelchairs 
• Assistive robotics for neuro-rehabilitation 
• Rehabilitation robotics for elderly care 
• Social robotics in health care 
• Natural human robot interaction
