Free Workshop on Brain Computer Interface Technology

Learn about the current findings of Brain Computer Interface (BCI) technology
from a panel of experts who have just completed an international research and
development study. The FREE workshop will be held at the National Science
Foundation, Stafford II Building, Room 555, in Arlington, VA on Friday, July
21, 2006. 

The study focuses on the neural engineering and systems engineering aspects
of BCI, including computational algorithms and control methods, to effect
synthetic motor movement through neural prosthetic systems in response to
neural processes in the brain related to motor movement and the cognitive
functions related to motor movement. 

WTEC's panel, chaired by Dr. Theodore W. Berger, includes experts with broad
strength and experience related to Brain Computer Interface technology. The
purpose of the study is to: 

1. Identify good ideas overseas worth exploring in US R&D programs 
2. Identify research opportunities and needs for promoting progress in the
   field of BCI 
3. Identify opportunities for international collaboration 
4. Evaluate the position of foreign research programs relative to those in
   the US
