Brain-computer interface (BCI) research explores avenues of controlling devices directly from brain signals. Thus, BCI technology is a powerful control option for neuro-prosthetic limbs, as well as a potential communication option for people with severe motor disabilities or disorders such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), brainstem stroke, cerebral palsy, and spinal cord injury, who may have little or even no muscle control and therefore no means of communication with the external world. The International Brain-Computer Interface (IBCI) meeting is the flagship conference for the field. Effective BCI research requires interdisciplinary interactions involving neuroscience, psychology, engineering, mathematics, computer science, and clinical rehabilitation, and the IBCI meetings serve as critical catalysts for technology dissemination, new collaborations, and educational opportunities for students. The IBCI conferences are under the auspices of the BCI Society, and in light of the significant progress that has been made towards restoring communication and mobility the 2020 International BCI meeting will focus on emerging applications and techniques with the theme "BCIs: The Next Frontier." NSF funding will enable an additional 25 students, including undergraduate and graduate students and postdoctoral fellows, to participate in the conference. Student participation in previous IBCI meetings has been very fruitful; many of those students have now graduated and are prominent researchers in the BCI field. The organizers are actively working to recruit student attendees from traditionally underrepresented groups.Reflecting the growth of the field of BCI research, 400 or more participants are expected to attend this year's meeting, including investigators from at least 100 BCI research groups. All attendees commit to the entire meeting. A main objective of the conference is 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. To these ends, and guided by feedback from a survey of 2018 IBCI attendees, the conference will include interactive events such as workshops and poster sessions along with 7 plenary keynote talks which will be complemented by research sessions and master classes, a BCI users forum as well as BCI didactics sessions, and a Women in BCI social.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

脑部计算机界面（BCI）研究直接从大脑信号中探索了控制设备的途径。 因此，BCI技术是神经肢体四肢的强大控制选择，也是严重运动障碍或疾病的人的潜在沟通选择，例如肌营养性侧面硬化症（ALS），脑干中风，脑瘫和脊髓损伤，以及可能没有肌肉控制的肌肉控制，也没有与外部的沟通的沟通。 国际大脑计算机界面（IBCI）会议是该领域的旗舰会议。 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跨学科互动，而IBCI会议则是技术传播，新协作和学生教育机会的关键催化剂。 IBCI会议位于BCI社会的主持下，鉴于在恢复沟通和流动性方面取得的重大进展将集中在2020年国际BCI会议上，将重点介绍带有“ BCIS：BCIS：下一个边界”主题的新兴应用和技术。 NSF资金将使包括本科生和研究生以及博士后研究员在内的25名学生可以参加会议。 学生参加以前的IBCI会议非常富有成果；这些学生中的许多学生现在已经毕业，并且是BCI领域的著名研究人员。 组织者正在积极努力从传统上代表性不足的群体中招募学生与会者。反映BCI研究领域的增长，预计有400名或更多参与者将参加今年的会议，其中包括至少100个BCI研究小组的调查人员。所有与会者都致力于整个会议。 会议的一个主要目的是为学生在BCI领域具有丰富的教育和专业经验，并为他们提供机会在其特定利益领域中获得深度。这些结束，并在2018年IBCI参与者的调查的反馈下进行指导，会议将包括互动活动，例如研讨会和海报会议，以及7个全体会议主题演讲，这些会议将与BCI用户论坛以及BCI Dictactics Sessions和BCI Serioce nes nes nes nes nesfore secripeds refforce secripeds refforces refforce secrips the secrip.通过使用基金会的智力优点和更广泛影响的评论标准进行评估。
