Brain-Computer Interface Research

Dr. Christoph Guger studied Biomedical Engineering at the University of Technology Graz and Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, USA. He then carried out research work at the Department of Medical Informatics (Prof. Pfurtscheller) at the University of Technology Graz and received his PhD in 1999. He co-founded G.TEC 1999, and has worked there ever since. Dr. Brendan Allison studied Cognitive Science at the University of California in San Diego (Prof. Pineda) and received his PhD in 2003. He then worked as a postdoc or senior postdoc for several top experts, including Profs. Polich, Wolpaw, Pfurtscheller, and Neuper. He has been active in BCI research for about 20 years, with an h-index of 31. Dr. Junichi Ushiba studied Rehabilitation Engineering and Neuroscience at the Keio University, Japan and the Center for Sensory-Motor Interaction, Aalborg University, Denmark. He received his PhD in 2004. He then had worked at the Keio University as a Research Associate, Assistant Professor, and now he is a principal investigator at the Laboratory for Rehabilitation Neuroscience. He has published more than 50 original articles. He served as a Conference Chair on Clinical Brain-Computer Interface 2015 in Tokyo (CBMI 2015).
