1st Annual Mini-Symposium & Course "Adaptive Neurotechnologies 2020: Principles and Application"

The goal of this 1st annual Adaptive Neurotechnologies 2020: Principles and Application event is to introduce the rehabilitation and scientific community to the field of Neuroadaptive Approaches (NAs), and specifically to Brain Computer Interfaces (BCI). BCI allows for the use of brain waves to control objects. BCI facilitates the control of computers, prosthetic limbs, orthotic devices, and wheelchairs by people who are paralyzed or have challenges controlling their motor and/or sensory systems. This groundbreaking work is occurring at AdventHealth University (AHU) and AdventHealth Orlando (AH Orlando) — a few select sites around the world to be involved in BCI research for motor rehabilitation. The BCI use at both AHU and AH Orlando is supported by the top developers of BCI technology in the world – g.tec medical engineering GmbH (Linz, Austria). The proposed event targets: rehabilitation clinicians (PT, OT, SLP), researchers, nurses, physicians, educators, and graduate students of these disciplines.
