Beyond Brain Machine Interface: From Senses to Cognition A one day workshop is planned to push the frontiers of Brain Machine Interface (BMI), from sensory and motor interfaces to enhancing cognitive and physical performance. The Workshop will take place on June 20 just preceding the Neural Interfaces Conference (June 21-23) at the Long Beach Convention Center, Long Beach, CA. Distinguished leaders in the field will present reviews and lead discussions, while junior scientists are invited to apply for travel fellowships and present posters on their work. The workshop will have three major sub-themes: (1) To review the latest developments at the frontiers of BMI technology, in terms of neural interfaces, signal modality and neural decoding, (2) To inspire the development of completely new technologies aimed at assisting and augmenting human functionality, and (3) To provide visionary, "next frontier" ideas, that go beyond BMI for computer interface or prosthesis into other fields of extension of motor performance, sensory feedback, speech, and cognitive enhancements. For the program and registration, visit http://tnsre.bme.jhu.edu. Registration fee is $100 for investigators and $50 for students and postdoctoral fellows. Advanced students and postdoctoral fellows interested in presenting posters may apply for $300 travel fellowships by submitting an abstract and a CV.
