Description
===========
Subsequent to the BBCI Workshop 2012, we organize a Summerschool on selected topics in Brain-Computer Interfacing and Neurotechnology from September 20th to 28th. It has educational tutorials in the morning session (two tutorials of 1:30h each, held by internationally renowned researchers), and practical hand-ons sessions in the afternoon. The practical sessions are multi-track and will allow researchers in BCI/Neurotechnology to complement their expertise in the interdisciplinary field.
In order to warrant an expedient atmosphere, the total number of participants is limited to 60. Furthermore, each practical session has its specific limit for participation. Upon application, preferences for the practical sessions can be specified after acceptance and we will do our best to provide a good match.
Researchers interested in participation are asked to provide their CV for application. Notifications of acceptance will be sent out on August 13th.
