This is funding to support student travel to and participation in the 4th International Brain-Computer Interface (IBCI) Meeting, which will be held May 31-June 4, 2010, in Asilomar, California. Brain-computer interface research explores avenues of controlling devices directly from brain signals, and the IBCI Meetings constitute the flagship conference for the field. Effective BCI research requires highly interdisciplinary interactions involving neuroscience, psychology, engineering, mathematics, computer science, and clinical rehabilitation. Because no standard venue brings these groups together, the IBCI meeting serves a critical catalyst for technology dissemination, new collaborations, and educational opportunities for students. NSF funding will enable approximately 40 students, including undergraduate and graduate students and postdoctoral fellows, to attend and participate in the conference. All of the NSF funding will be used for student travel, registration, and student-only event costs. The organizers' main objective will be to give students a significant educational and professional experience in the BCI field, and to provide opportunities for them to gain depth in their specific interest areas. The conference will begin with a specialized student colloquium on the afternoon before the full conference starts, which will provide lectures from prominent experts in the BCI field. This will give the students a solid foundation for understanding the rest of the conference. There will also be a student poster session and prizes for the best student research projects, and students will have access to research leaders for informal question-and-answer sessions at the end of each day. The students will participate fully in the main conference as well, mentored by their advisors and other senior conference participants. This year's conference will have an increased focus on student participation, ensuring a good experience for the students as well as encouraging young researchers to explore the BCI field for their research. Exposure to prominent researchers in the BCI field will allow students to receive invaluable feedback on their work, and to make connections that may result in new research directions.Broader Impacts: Student participation in the three previous IBCI meetings has been very fruitful; a large number of those who attended have now graduated and are prominent researchers in the BCI field. The Journal of Neural Engineering has agreed to publish the Proceedings of this meeting as a series of peer reviewed papers in a special issue, which will further disseminate the results of the meeting. The organizers are actively working to recruit students from traditionally underrepresented groups to attend the conference. Supporting student participation in the IBCI conference will educate, motivate, and inspire the future leaders in brain-computer interface research while promoting diversity which will strengthen the BCI research community.

这是为了支持学生前往和参加第四届国际脑机构界面（IBCI）会议的资金，该会议将于2010年5月31日至6月4日在加利福尼亚州的Asilomar举行。 脑部计算机界面研究直接从大脑信号中探讨了控制设备的途径，而IBCI会议构成了该领域的旗舰会议。 有效的BCI研究需要涉及神经科学，心理学，工程，数学，计算机科学和临床康复的高度跨学科互动。 由于没有标准的场地将这些群体融合在一起，因此IBCI会议为技术传播，新的合作和学生的教育机会提供了关键的催化剂。 NSF资金将使大约40名学生能够参加并参加会议。 所有NSF资金都将用于学生旅行，注册和仅学生活动费用。 组织者的主要目标是在BCI领域为学生提供重要的教育和专业经验，并为他们提供机会在其特定利益领域中获得深度。 会议将从专业的学生座谈会开始，然后在整个会议开始之前，这将为BCI领域的著名专家提供讲座。 这将为学生一个理解会议其余部分的稳固基础。 每天结束时，还将有一个学生海报会议和奖品，并为学生提供最佳的学生研究项目的奖品，学生将可以与研究领导者进行非正式的问答环节。 学生们也将在其顾问和其他高级会议参与者的指导下全面参加主要会议。 今年的会议将越来越关注学生参与，确保学生对学生的良好经验以及鼓励年轻的研究人员探索BCI领域的研究。 BCI领域的著名研究人员的接触将使学生能够收到有关其工作的宝贵反馈，并建立可能导致新研究方向的联系。BRODER的影响：学生参加以前的三场IBCI会议，这是非常富有成果的；许多参加会议的人现在已经毕业，并且是BCI领域的著名研究人员。 《神经工程杂志》已同意将本次会议的诉讼程序发布为一系列同行评审的论文，这将进一步传播会议的结果。 组织者正在积极致力于招募传统代表性不足的团体的学生参加会议。 支持学生参加IBCI会议，将教育，激励和激发脑部计算机界面研究的未来领导者，同时促进多样性，从而增强BCI研究社区。
