Budapest – Call for Papers</b></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in" class="">“Non-Invasive Brain Stimulation and
its Brain-Machine Interface applications”</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in" class="">The combination of non-invasive brain
stimulation techniques for interfacing Brains and Machines is a topic
of increasing interest. Different works in the literature prove the
increase in BCI communication performance achieved by combining
traditional BCI techniques with non-invasive brain stimulation.
Moreover non-invasive brain stimulation technologies like
transcranial current stimulation (tCS) and transcranial magnetic
stimulation (TMS) have shown its applicability in brain to brain
interfaces. This Special Session aims to cover the main insights on
these novel technologies for interfacing the brain, including but not
limited to:</p>
