The presentation will introduce contemporary brain-computer interface (BCI) techniques. Dr Rutkowski will explain auditory, visual, and tactile reactive BCI examples with applications for communication and passive solutions for cognitive-load/dementia biomarker elucidation. He will also discuss future research directions of the so-called neurotechnology applications for healthcare and especially cognitive monitoring solutions. Tomasz Rutkowski received his M.Sc. in Electronics and Ph.D. in Telecommunications and Acoustics from Wroclaw University of Technology, Poland, in 1994 and 2002, respectively. He received postdoctoral training at the Multimedia Laboratory, Kyoto University, and in 2005-2011 he worked as a research scientist at RIKEN Brain Science Institute, Japan.
