The first international Mobile Brain/Body Imaging (MoBI) conference in September will take place from September 5th to September 8th, 2013 at the HWK. The program will provide ample time for talks, demonstrations, poster presentations, and open discussions of a variety of topics and time for informal interaction among researchers.

Talks will be organized in three tracks, starting with Concepts and Applications of MoBI on the first day, followed by Hardware Developments (e.g. sensor development), and Software Developments (e.g. development of toolboxes for multi-dimensional data streams) on Friday and Saturday, respectively. Much time will be reserved for informal discussions, demonstrations, and interactions among researchers.

The schedule will be adjusted depending on the number of proposals in the three areas mentioned above or potential additional areas.
