The 1st InterBrain Symposium

ICA conference and 10th EEGLAB workshop

June 12-17, 2010

Jyväskylä, Finland

 

The 2-day International ICA conference will focus on theory of independent components analysis and its applications in brain research, mainly in EEG/ ERP analysis. The conference consists of talks by invited experts of the field as well as of oral sessions dealing with ICA and other related analysis techniques.

The conference is followed by hands-on EEGLAB workshop (for a limited number of participants).

 

 

Welcome

 

Independent Component Analysis and Signal Separation is one of the most exciting current research areas in neural signal processing. We would like to welcome you to the ICA Conference, The 1st InterBrain Symposium, and the 10th EEGLAB workshop. These consecutive events will take place in Jyväskylä, Finland, a university town surrounded by lakes.

 

The 2-day International ICA conference will focus on theory of independent components analysis and its applications in brain research, mainly in EEG/ ERP analysis. The conference program consists of plenary lectures by invited leading experts of the field, accepted high-quality oral sessions and posters dealing with ICA and other related analysis techniques. The abstracts will appear online and in a conference abstract book. The interactive poster-sessions will offer on opportunity for discussions with leading experts on various methodological issues and the applicability of ICA on your own data.

 

The conference is followed by the 10th EEGLAB workshop. The workshop will concentrate on ICA methodology applying EEGLAB toolbox developed at the Swartz Center for Computational Neuroscience (SCCN), the University of California San Diego. The workshop offers both theoretical lectures and hands-on sessions tutored by the expert team at SCCN and associates. The workshop has a limited number of participants. A half-day excursion to Finnish nature resorts and several social events are also planned.

 

We cordially invite you to participate in this exciting conference and ICA/ EEGlab workshop. Workshop participants are strongly encouraged to participate in the ICA conference, too, as it offers theoretical basis for much of the material dealt with in the workshop.

 

Further information on abstract submission and registration will follow on this web-site shortly. We look forward to meeting you and welcoming you to Jyväskylä in June 2010!
