CSP - 2017 International Conference of Mobile Brain-Body Imaging (MoBI) and the Neuroscience of Art, Innovation and Creativity
Abstract
Title of conference: 2017 International Conference of Mobile Brain-Body Imaging(MoBI) and the Neuroscience of Art, Innovation and C""reativity(http://yourbrainonart2017.egr.uh.edu/)Dates of Event: September 10-13, 2017Venue: Hotel Balneario Las Arenas (http://ww""w.hotelvalencialasarenas.com/en/),Valencia, Spain1. Technical and scientific objectives: The conference is aimed to identify thec""hallenges and opportunities for engaging science, engineering, technology, designpractices and the creative arts to promote creativ""ity, lifelong learning and innovationleading to novel approaches to solving complex engineering challenges in science,technology,"" education and medicine (i.e., promote creativity, advance personalizedlearning, reverse engineering the brain, design better neuro""prosthetics and braincomputerinterfaces, and understand the brain response in natural settings). Themeeting is co-organized by Pro""f. Jose M. Azorin (Miguel Hernandez University of Elche,Spain) and by Prof. Jose L. Contreras-Vidal (University of Houston). The ma""in goal is toprovide leadership at the interface of the science, technology, engineering, educationand arts; innovate neurotechnol""ogy; advance health and wellness; transform the designof living, learning and working environments; accelerate innovation and promo"tecreativity.2. Contribution to the Navy Science and Technology Strategic Plan andspecific focus areas that will be addressed: On"e of the main targets of this conferenceis to understand how to foster creativity in science and engineering, that is in line with""the Navy Science and Technology Strategic Plan. Indeed, the conference is focused onanswering these questions: 1) What are the scie""ntific and engineering challenges thataffect creativity, collaboration and innovation?; 2) How to design new tools forunderstandin""g and promote creativity, health, and wellness; 3) What is the best approachfor uncovering basic neural mechanisms (~reverse engine""ering~ the brain) underlyingcreative experiences?. Thus, the outcomes of this conference will contribute to all focusareas of the"" Navy Science and Technology Strategic Plan. Specifically, in relation to thearea of ~Autonomy & Unmanned Systems~, the topics addr"essed in the conference aboutBrain-Computer Interfaces are closely related to the ~Human/Unmanned SystemsCollaboration~ objective (~Developing natural modes of interaction~ and ~Understandingintent and recognizing deception~).3. Program: The conference progra"m will promote insightful discussion anddebate. To encourage inter and trans-disciplinary interactions, the conference will bearra""nged in single track, thematic sessions with two chairs and no more than 4 speakersper session. These sessions are intended to revi""ew the state-of-the-art, presentpositions, and may include demonstration of capabilities. There will be four themescovered in the" conference: 1) Wearable Mobile Brain-Body Imaging (MoBI) technologies(both hardware and software developments); 2) Cognitive and B"rain-ComputerInterfaces; 3) Cognitive, Medical and Pedagogical Applications; and 4) Neuroaesthetics,Arts & The Biology of Creativi""ty. In addition, a hackathon on Brain-Computer Interfaces(Sponsored by the IEEE BRAIN Initiative) will be developed in parallel dur"ing all theconference.4. Outcomes of the conference: A Roadmap summarizing the findings of themeeting will be prepared upon concl"usion of the workshop. Furthermore, all stakeholderswill be invited to submit an extended version of their presentations to a speci"al issue ofthe Brain-Computer Interface Journal (a peer-review journal) organized by somemembers of the Organizing Committee: http://explore.tandfonline.com/cfp/est/tbci-si-cfpartistic-brain-computer-interfaces
