Description
===========
Subsequent to the BBCI Workshop 2012, we organize a Summerschool on
selected topics in Brain-Computer Interfacing and Neurotechnology from
September 20th to 28th. It has educational tutorials in the morning
session (two tutorials of 1:30h each, held by internationally renowned
researchers), and practical hand-ons sessions in the afternoon. The
practical sessions are multi-track and will allow researchers in
BCI/Neurotechnology to complement their expertise in the
interdisciplinary field.

In order to warrant an expedient atmosphere, the total number of
participants is limited to 60. Furthermore, each practical session has
its specific limit for participation. Upon application, preferences for
the practical sessions can be specified after acceptance and we will do
our best to provide a good match.

Researchers interested in participation are asked to provide their CV
for application. Notifications of acceptance will be sent out on August
13th.
