Text Box: International Workshop on Advances in Rehabilitation Engineering Applications The aim of the workshop is to bring together scientists,  engineers, manufacturers and users  from all over  the  world to  discuss  common theoretical  and practical  problems related to  engineered equipment for rehabilitation which may include hybrid systems FES-exoskeletons, Brain-Computer Interfaces etc. An Electroencephalogram based Brain-Computer-Interface (BCI) provides a new communication channel between the human brain and a computer. Patients who suffer from severe motor impairments (late stage of Amyothrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), severe cerebral palsy, head trauma and spinal injuries) may use such a BCI system as an alternative form of communication by mental activity. In fact, changes of brain activity induced by a mental task are detected/classified. The BCI system transforms these changes into a control signal which can be used for communication or control of external devices. The  practical  demo  will  be  performed  with  g.USBamp  system  and  wireless  system g.Nautilus (BCI systems).   For submitting a paper for this workshop, please follow the submission process of the Conference.   Workshop chair: Prof. Marian Poboroniuc, PhD mpobor@tuiasi.ro Faculty of Electrical Engineering “Gheorghe Asachi” Technical University of Iasi D.Mangeron 23, 700050 Iasi, Romania Tel: +40-232-701123 Fax: +40-232-237627
