Dr. Jonathan Wolpaw will be giving a Killam lecture on Brain-Computer
Interface (BCI) on Tuesday November 7 at 4pm, as well as a Special
lecture on Nervous System Plasticity on Wednesday November 8 at 1:30pm.
Dr Wolpaw is Professor and Laboratory Chief at the Laboratory of Nervous
System Disorders of the Wadsworth Center of the SUNY in Albany. He is a
prominent researcher on the issue of plasticity of the motor system and
a pioneer in the area of BCI (his first publication on the topic dates
from 1991). His group has recently reported the actual use of a BCI
system by a patient with ALS, at home and during several months, using
scalp EEG electrodes. He has worked and published extensively on
plasticity of the motor system studied in humans and experimental
animals. A few of his recent publications are given below, together with
his 1991 BCI report.

The Tuesday lecture on BCI will be hosted by Jean Gotman
(jean.gotman at mcgill.ca)

The Wednesday lecture on plasticity will be hosted by Daniel Guitton
(daniel.guitton at mcgill.ca)

Please let us know if you would like to meet with the speaker.
