Dear Sir, Madam, The European Symposium on Artificial Neural Networks (ESANN’09) is a major event for researchers on fundamentals and theoretical aspects of artificial neural networks, computational intelligence, machine learning and related topics all over the world. The conference will be held in Bruges, Belgium from April 22^nd to 24^th , 2009. Over the past few years the scope of the symposium has broadened and this year the program committee has decided to include a special session on brain computer interfaces in the program of the ESANN’09 conference. Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI) are a new kind of human-machine interfaces and represents a burgeoning field of research. Brain signals are measured using EEG and translated directly into control commands. A typical application of BCI is found in people with severe motor disabilities allowing them to manipulate their environment in an alternative way. However there’s still a lot of work to be done to make it usable in daily life. This special session aims at presenting novel ideas of brain signal analysis, artefact removal algorithms (for example blind source separation), feature selection strategies and BCI classification algorithms or interesting applications of BCI for robot control (http://www.dice.ucl.ac.be/esann/index.php?pg=specsess). As organizers of this session, we kindly invite you to submit a paper and to inform those of your colleagues, who could be interested in presenting their recent contributions in this field of research before November, 21 2008. More information about the Conference Program, accommodation facilities and registration fees is available on website: http://www.dice.ucl.ac.be/esann/. Please note that papers submitted to a special session are reviewed according to the same rules as any other submission. Authors who submit papers to one of these sessions are invited to mention it on the author submission form. Submissions to the special sessions must also follow the same format, instructions and deadlines as any other submission, and must be sent to the same address. You are responsible for all of your expenses for the meeting including registration fee, travel, lodging and food. If you have any questions concerning the special session, please do not hesitate to contact us. We are looking forward to see you in the one of the most beautiful medieval towns in Europe. Yours faithfully, Luc Boullart, Georges Otte, Patrick Santens and Bart Wyns _______________________________________________ BCI-info mailing list [email protected] https://mlist.tugraz.at/mailman/listinfo/bci-info
