Satellite Events

Satellite Events provide a teaching opportunity, allowing participants to acquire or extend their skills, learn about new techniques or technologies, or gain in-depth knowledge in a particular topic related to BCI. 

Admission is FREE of charge for delegates registered for the BCI Meeting. 

You can select the event(s) when completing your conference registration OR if you have already registered, you can log back into your registration and add the event(s). 

Satellite events are almost SOLD OUT and we will be managing a waitlist. If the event you wish to register for is sold out, and you want to be placed on the waitlist, please email bci@podiumconferences.com with your full names and the event you wish to be waitlisted for. If you have already registered for one of these events and will no longer be attending, please let us know.

Submissions Closed

Submissions are now closed. Thank you to everyone who applied.

The following satellite events will take place at the BCI 2023 Meeting on Tuesday, June 6th, 2023:

Accepting Proposals

The BCI Society is now accepting proposals for Satellite Events at the 10th International BCI Meeting. They can be scheduled on Tuesday, June 6, 2023, either for a half-day or for a full-day. Satellite Events need to be completed by 3:00pm.

Please note:

  • Satellite Events organizers must be a current member of the BCI Society and will be required to be registered for the 2023 BCI Meeting.
  • Organizers are responsible for all costs associated with the Satellite Event but can look into charging participants to recoup some of the cost.

Satellite Events Proposal Submission Guidelines

Satellite event proposals must contain the following information:

  • Event title
  • Names and contact information of the event organizer(s)
  • Names and affiliations of event presenters
  • Proposed format of the satellite event (half day or full day)
  • A summary of the event that can be used as information for delegates
  • An abstract presenting the proposed theme and motivation as well as an explanation of the satellite event’s relevance for BCI Meeting delegates.

The Scientific Program Committee will review the proposal for acceptance.

If you would like to organize a Satellite Event, please contact the BCI Secretariat.

SE1: Neurotechnologies for Mass Populations

Overview:

Over the past several decades, neuroscience has provided thousands of demonstrations that specific brain signal recordings can provide meaningful information about a person’s brain or mind.  However, to date, with very few exceptions, this research has not resulted in solutions that can improve brain- or mind-related function of large numbers of people.  After an initial and highly successful workshop in Shanghai in September 2022, we are now proposing a Satellite Event that is dedicated specifically to the question of how to bring neuroscientific achievements to mass populations.  In this series, world-reknown speakers from academia and industry discuss: 1) neurotechnologies and their historical context; 2) opportunities of neurotechnologies for mass populations; 3) scientific, technical, financial, and regulatory challenges; and 4) the design, implementation, and optimization of neurotechnologies that can successfully address the needs of mass populations.  We expect that this event will contribute to the definition of the current state and future of an important new class of technologies that will have a major impact on people’s lives in the 21st century.

SE2: BCI2000: Open-Source Software for Real-Time Biosignal Acquisition, Processing, and Feedback

Overview:

The focus of this workshop will be training individuals to use BCI2000 and introducing new features to existing users. BCI2000 is an open-source, general-purpose software for real-time biosignal acquisition, processing, and feedback. BCI2000 gives users the ability to develop tightly controlled experiments and facilitates collaboration through its consistent data structure and thorough documentation. BCI2000 has been requested by over 4000 users worldwide and cited in hundreds of peer-reviewed papers.

Presented by:

  • James Swift, PhD, Department of Neurosurgery, Washington University School of Medicine
  • Peter Brunner, PhD, Associate Professor of Neurosurgery, Washington University School of Medicine

SE 3: Future of Brain computer interface technology – how Ultra-High Density EEG boosts BCI applications and gaming opportunities

Overview:

This workshop will present novel techniques of Brain-Computer Interfaces and allow spectators to try out several applications in a Hands-On Session Ultra High-Density electrodes (up to 1048 channels) can open new opportunities in BCI applications. The detection of individual finger movements, as well as complex EMG detection on a stump, increases the degrees of freedom to control external devices or interact in immersive game environments. Hence, we will talk about how Gaming can reach new users and how game developers get access to new plug and play BCI solutions without the need to program complicated real-time processing.
