Dear IEEE CAS Community,<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
We wish to invite you to attend the 1st BrainCAS<\/a> workshop (the post-conference workshop to IEEE BioCAS 2016).<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This will be held on\u00a0October\u00a020-21, 2016\u00a0in Hangzhou (http:\/\/www.biocas2016.org\/venue.html<\/a>). BrainCAS will be a unique forum for showcasing the\u00a0latest in\u00a0neurotechnology and neuroscience and identifying challenges and opportunities.\u00a0The workshop will align to a different theme for each day: neural interfacing\u00a0technology (day 1) and brain machine interfaces (day 2). It will feature an\u00a0outstanding and highly innovative technical\u00a0programme aimed at facilitating\u00a0engagement between the neurosciences, neural engineering, medical, IEEE and CAS\u00a0communities. Invited experts from the international neuroscience and\u00a0neurotechnology communities will provide their insights,\u00a0pose the challenges,\u00a0and present opportunities.<\/p>\n

Through a unique program, the \u201caudience\u201d will\u00a0be in continuous interaction. The goal is for every participant to leave\u00a0BrainCAS: (1) with new contacts; and (2) with new ideas!<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Workshop Format:<\/strong><\/div>\n
BrainCAS will, for the first time, feature a creative, interactive technical programme that\u00a0will shift the focus from a traditional \u201cpresenter-focused\u201d workshop to one that ALL participants interact and contribute to<\/u>. This non-traditional workshop format will provide opportunities for BioCAS members and engineers to find collaborators, and to identify and develop new ideas together. Neuroscientists and physicians will benefit from finding collaborating engineers, scientists and deepen their knowledge on forefront technologies. Learning about neuroscience and neurotechnology in an interactive way will help students, and newcomers to the field to understand the cutting edge of neural interfaces, BMI and neuromodulation. Experts can learn more about the latest scientific results through the talks and discussion.<\/div>\n
To facilitate this level of interaction, the technical programme will feature a number of different formats:<\/div>\n
