[Eeglablist] NAT'22 >> Call for papers

[Thorsten O. Zander]

Dear colleagues,

We are very happy to invite you to this year's conference on Neuroadaptive
Technology that focuses on research that brings together artificial and
human intelligence!

In addition to scientists from different areas of research, representatives
from companies are invited to attend NAT’22 and add their perspective from
a market viewpoint. Furthermore, NAT’22 invites representatives of national
governments to discuss the legal and societal impacts of NAT and how we can
prepare our work and our societies accordingly.

Participants of NAT’22 are invited to submit a short abstract describing
their research results and/or perspectives on the combination of NAT and
Artificial Intelligence. NAT’22 welcomes novel research results and ideas,
but also explicitly invites work that has been already published to provide
an overview of relevant research in the different domains.

All accepted abstracts will be published in the conference proceedings.

You will find more details below. Please do not hesitate to distribute this
announcement to your network.

We are looking forward to welcome you at NAT'22 in October!

All the best!
Thorsten O. Zander

NAT'22 Call for Papers

*Bringing together artificial and human intelligence*

*Date:* 9th to 11th of October, 2022
*Location:* Castle Lübbenau, near Berlin, Germany
*Facilitator:* Brandenburg University of Technology and Liverpool John
Moores University
Background

Neuroadaptive technology (NAT) utilizes real-time measures of
neurophysiological activity within a closed control loop to create
intelligent software adaptation. Measures of electrocortical and
neurovascular brain activity are quantified to provide a dynamic
representation of the psychological state of the user, with respect to
cognitions, emotions and motivation. As such, NAT can access unique aspects
of human information processing, and human intelligence, which can
subsequently be used to enable more versatile and more human-like forms of
machine intelligence.
Motivation

Current trends in different scientific fields indicate an increased
interest in integrating context-sensitive information from the human brain
into Artificial Intelligence. NAT’22 is intended to bring scientists
interested in Physiological Computing, Applied Neurosciences and Passive
Brain-Computer Interfaces together with experts from the fields of
Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Intelligent Systems. The main
goals of the conference are an exchange of research questions and findings
from both fields and the identification of common goals and joint ventures
in the domain of Neuroadaptive Technology, including: real-time signal
processing, unsupervised vs. supervised ML, designing neuroadaptive
interaction, explainable AI (XAI), neuroadaptive applications, hybrid AI
systems (DL + symbolic AI) for applied neurosciences, ethics of
neurotechnology in real world (responsibility for action, security),
cloud-based solutions for data management and more.
Location

We are pleased to announce that the Third Neuroadaptive Technology
Conference (NAT'22) will be held in Lübbenau, near Berlin, Germany, from
October 9th to 11th, 2022. The venue
<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://neuroadaptive.org/conference/2022/venue__;!!Mih3wA!AUA5AKJrj7biasmOv8lu4zXsY7MvIKJZylrwi65icd42RuImemoYDccd_Wh2YGD6ZXeE0svH4E4CE54mlojl$ > for NAT'22 is the
Lübbenau Castle, a fully-preserved castle ensemble in the middle of the
UNESCO Biosphere Reserve of the Spree Forest, approximately an hour drive
from Berlin-Brandenburg Airport.
Scope

In addition to scientists from different areas of research, representatives
from companies are invited to attend NAT’22 and add their perspective from
a market viewpoint. Furthermore, NAT’22 invites representatives of national
governments to discuss the legal and societal impacts of NAT and how we can
prepare our work and our societies accordingly.
Participation

Participants of NAT’22 are invited to submit a short abstract describing
their research results and/or perspectives on the combination of NAT and
Artificial Intelligence and will have the opportunity to present this work
at the conference. NAT’22 welcomes novel research results and ideas, but
also explicitly invites work that has been already published to provide an
overview of relevant research in the different domains. This is intended to
support the main idea of the conference to bring scientists from different
fields together and inspire cooperative work. Furthermore, Participants of
NAT’22 will have the opportunity to jointly work on publications describing
the main outcomes of the conference, including concepts of roadmaps,
theoretical concepts and ethical/societal considerations.
