Workshop on Standardised Brain Computer Interface Framework

UTS Tech Festival: How to Bridge the gap between Neuroscience & Computational Intelligence for BCI with Google TensorFlow ?

Wed 22nd Jun 2022, 9:30 am - 3:30 pm AEST

About Workshop

We are pleased to invite you to the hands-on workshop on how to bridge the gap between Neuroscience and Computational Intelligence to design and develop Brain-Computer Interface. This workshop intends to promote standardization of terminologies and technologies for Brain-Computer Interfaces to computational intelligence practitioners and Neuroscience communities. The workshop promotes the utilization of open-source tools such as Google TensorFlow for enhancing community cohesion and BCI standardization.

What:

  • Lots of Brain Computer Interface, Code, Models and Hand-on demonstrations with Neurophysiological devices>
  • Coffee, Snacks and Lunch
  • Talks from experts including Google TensorFlow

When:

Wednesday, June 22th 2022 from 9:30 AM - 3:30 PM
