Link to BCI Meeting 2010

We are beginning to plan the Fifth International Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) Meeting set for June 3-7, 2013. The meeting will again be held at the Asilomar Conference Center on the Monterey Peninsula, part of the California State Park System.

We would be delighted if you could join us for this meeting. As with the first four meetings, we will be applying for NIH support. The application is due at the beginning of December, and it will include a list of people who plan to attend. Please let us know if there is a good expectation that you will attend, so that we can include your name in the proposal as a probable participant. As in the past, it is our intention, to the extent that funding allows, to provide major financial support for a substantial number of students and postdoctoral fellows. Contingent on funding, we may also be able to defray some of the expenses of invited attendees such as you. This will be the first in the International BCI meeting Series that is organized by a committee of BCI researchers from around the world instead of solely by the Wadsworth Center. As a result, your response is especially important to show funding agencies that we have your support.

The meeting will be organized, as before, with presentations, workshops, poster sessions, and BCI demonstrations, along with several plenary sessions, and will include students and post-doctoral fellows in every aspect of the meeting. Additional events to support collaborations and mixing of senior and junior researchers are also planned. We plan to publish proceedings for all poster abstracts as well as to have the traditional peer-reviewed special journal issue that includes a meeting summary, succinct topical reviews, and primary articles from participating research groups.

We look forward to a very exciting and productive meeting and we hope that you will be able to join us. An indication of your intention to come does not constitute a final commitment if future circumstances prevent you from attending. It will simply enable us to include you in our preliminary list of expected participants.

As soon as possible, please let us know whether you plan to come and whether you are interested in helping with the meeting. Emails should be sent to janeh@umich.edu with a subject line of "BCI Meeting 2013."
