Announcing the 1st Brain-Computer Interface Un-Conference (BCI-UC)
Dear Colleagues:
We cordially invite you to the 1st Brain-Computer Interface Un-Conference (BCI-UC)!
https://bciunconference.univie.ac.at/
The 1st BCI-UC is an entirely virtual event that takes place on
July 23rd 2020 from 3 pm to 9:30 pm (CEST).
It differs in various ways from traditional conferences in our field: * All presentations are publicly streamed via Crowdcast. * Anybody can apply for a presentation slot by submitting an abstract. All registered attendees can up-vote their favorite abstracts. In this way, the whole community decides which presentations they would like to see presented at the conference. * Voting commences on Monday, June 29th at 8 am (CEST) and ends on Thursday, July 16th at 12 midnight (CEST). The authors of the top-rated abstracts are invited to present their work at the conference. * Registration (free of charge) is required for submitting an abstract and to up-vote submissions.
In addition to the contributed talks, the 1st BCI Un-Conference features two keynotes presentations:
1. Mariska J Vansteensel (UMC Utrecht Brain Center): Towards the Daily Life Implementation of ECoG-BCIs 2. Christian Herff (Maastricht University): Decoding Speech from Invasive EEG
Please join us in exploring this new way of disseminating research in our community!

We cordially invite you to the 2nd BCI Un-Conference (BCI-UC) on February 10 and 11, 2021, from 03:00 pm to 08:00 pm (CET)!

The BCI-UC is an online un-conference that provides rapid dissemination of novel research results in the BCI community. The BCI-UC does not publish conference proceedings. As such, submitted abstracts can report novel as well as already published work. The BCI-UC does not have a program committee that reviews submitted abstracts. Instead, all registered participants can vote which of the submitted abstracts they would like to see presented at the un-conference. Registration and attendance are free-of-charge. The second BCI-UC will feature keynotes by Marco Congedo [3] on Riemannian transfer learning and by Camille Jeunet on user-centered BCI design [4]. All presentations of the first BCI-UC, which >300 participants attended, can be re-watched at [2].
Registration and abstract submission are open as of today [1]. Voting on submitted abstracts begins on January 13th. Abstract submission remains open until January 25th, 11:59 pm (CET). The voting phase ends on January 27th, 11:59 pm (CET). We will invite the authors of the top-voted abstracts to present their work at the un-conference.
For the 2nd BCI-UC, we solicit two types of submissions:
* _Presentations_ are applications for 20 minutes slots by a single presenter.
* _Mini-symposia_ are applications for 60 minutes slots by multiple presenters on a coherent topic, possibly including a panel discussion.
Submissions are text-only. The length and format of the submissions are up to the authors -- use whatever format you consider best for attracting up-votes! Voting procedures will not distinguish between the two submission types, i.e., the community decides on the fraction of presentations vs. mini-symposia.
Join us in supporting this novel community-driven dissemination of research results!

The 2nd BCI-UC features keynotes by *Camille Jeunet* on "User-centered approach to improve BCI efficiency and usability: Stakes, Progress and Obstacles" and by *Marco Congedo* on "Recent Advances on Riemannian Transfer Learning". In addition, we have twelve contributed presentations on a broad range of topics and a symposium on commercial perspectives for BCI technologies.
