Minisymposium on New Dimensions in Brain-Machine Interfaces

The minisymposium highlights latest advances and emerging directions in brain-machine and neuron-silicon interface technology and their applications to neuroscience and neuroengineering. Topics include high-dimensional EEG and ECoG systems, wireless and unobtrusive brain-machine interfaces, flexible bioelectronics, real-time decoding of brain and motor activity, and signal processing methods for intelligent human-system interfaces.
