BR41N.IO Designers' Hackathon
BR41N.IO Designers' Hackathon
BR41N.IO Designers' Hackathon is a brainstorming and collaborative marathon designed to be a learning experience for developers, technologists, engineers, students, artists, and scientists who cram and build brain-computer interface (BCI) applications together in teams.
Who can participate?
Anyone can participate who has interests in BMI, BCI, robotics, AR, VR, machine learning, computing, sensors, human-machine interface systems, control, signal processing, big data, haptics, rehabilitation, and similar areas. Even better: it is for FREE. Participants do not have to be a BMI expert to participate on a team! Interdisciplinary teams with a combination of BMI and non-BMI skills are often successful in building solutions and producing working prototypes.
What's in there for me?
Be creative, think outside the box. The BR41N.IO Designers' Hackathon is fun and gets you to network and collaborate with other Geeks. The best projects will be awarded cash prizes:
BCI GAMING PROJECT PRIZES:
1st BR41N.IO Prize: $ 1000
2nd BR41N.IO Prize: $ 600
3rd BR41N.IO Prize: $ 400
BCI DATA ANALYSIS PROJECT PRIZES:
1st BR41N.IO Prize: $ 1000
2nd BR41N.IO Prize: $ 600
3rd BR41N.IO Prize: $ 400
BCI PROGRAMMING & ARTS PROJECT PRIZES:

BCI Award Ceremony
BCI Award Ceremony
The International BCI Award, endowed with a USD$6,000 prize, is one of the top accolades in BCI research. The BCI Award was created to recognize outstanding and innovative research in the field of Brain-Computer Interfaces.
Twelve projects are nominated before the winner is announced at the BCI Award Ceremony. Make sure to submit your BCI project to the BCI Award 2024. You just need a 2-page description of your work and a short video showing your BCI research and projects. Submission deadline is 1st of September 2024. Further information can be found here: www.bci-award.com.
The BCI Awards Ceremony will be broadcast at the BMI Workshop on October 8th from 20:00 (local time) and will be accessible online. More details on how to register can be found here.
BMI Experts Panel
BMI Experts Panel
Join us on Tuesday, October 8th from 15:00-15:30 (Malaysia time) for a BMI Expert Panel on the Topic: BMI applications for daily life: Challenges and potentials. Panelists will include Dr. Yaoping Hu (University of Calgary, Canada), Dr. Vinod Prasad (Infocomm Technology Cluster, Singapore Institute of Technology, Singapore), Dr. Ivan Volosyak (Rhine-Waal University, Germany), and Dr. Dongrui Wu (Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan, China).
Dr. Y. Hu (Dept. of Electrical and Software Engineering, University of Calgary, Canada) is a leading expert in Human-Computer Interaction with virtual/ augmented/mixed reality (XR) technologies. Her research activities embrace pattern extraction/modelling of spatiotemporal data, visualization and haptics for multi-user collaborative interaction, and brain-machine interfaces (BMI) for cognitive ergonomics. These activities have generated methodologies/ knowledge essential for interactive analytics of complex data and various applications. Dr. Hu served as vice-chair for finance of the IEEE RAS Technical Committee on Haptics; and is a member of the IEEE SMC Board of Governors and of the IEEE SA Working Group of Unified Terminology for Brain-Computer Interfaces.
Dr. Vinod A Prasad is a Professor and Director of Research at Infocomm Technology Dept., Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT). He is also a Visiting Senior Academician at SingHealth (Singapore Health Services) and a Visiting Professor at the Department of Neurology, National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences (NIMHANS), Bangalore, India. Before joining SIT in May 2022, Vinod was a Professor of Engineering Practice at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong, a Professor at Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) and an Associate Professor (tenured) at Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore.
Dr. Ivan Volosyak holds a Diploma in automation and control of technical systems from the Dnepropetrovsk State University in Ukraine and a Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from the University of Bremen, Germany. He led several national and European Union projects and was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Institute of Automation. He held visiting positions at the Institute for Knowledge Discovery, Graz University of Technology and at the Centre for Rehabilitation Engineering, Glasgow University. Currently at Rhine-Waal University, Dr. Volosyak is an accomplished research leader who has successfully managed several funded brain-computer interfacing projects.
Dr. Dongrui Wu (IEEE Fellow) is Professor and Deputy Director of the Key Laboratory of the Ministry of Education for Image Processing and Intelligent Control, School of Artificial Intelligence and Automation, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan, China. His research interests include brain-computer interface, machine learning, computational intelligence, and affective computing. He has more than 200 publications (14000+ Google Scholar citations; h=62), with 6 outstanding paper awards. His team won National Champion of the China Brain-Computer Interface Competition in two successive years (2021-2022). He is the Editor-in-Chief of IEEE Transactions on Fuzzy Systems.
