11th International BCI2000 Workshop
Software Platform for Real-Time Biosignal Acquisition, Processing and Feedback
Main Campus, West China Hospital, Sichuan University
No. 37 Guoxue Alley, Wuhou District, Chengdu, Sichuan Province, China
July 24-25, 2026
Abstract
BCI2000 is a general-purpose software platform for brain-computer interface (BCI) research and other neurotechnology applications that depend on real-time brain signal acquisition, processing, and feedback (www.bci2000.org). BCI2000 has been actively developed, maintained and supported since the project’s inception in 2000. BCI2000 has been acquired by thousands of users around the world, supported experiments reported in more than 2400 peer-reviewed publications, and has become the standard software in its field of research. Its technical basis and practical use are described in several journal papers, book chapters, a dedicated book published by Springer, in hundreds of pages on the BCI2000 wiki, and in thousands of posts on the BCI2000 bulletin board. In addition to its use for research purposes, BCI2000 has also provided the basis for important clinical applications such as real-time functional mapping or clinical monitoring in intensive care units.
The 11th BCI2000 workshop will be held in Chengdu, Sichuan, China, from July 24-25, 2026. At the workshop, international experts in brain-computer interfacing and BCI2000 will give lectures on the relevant theoretical and practical aspects of the BCI2000 system and provide hands‐on practical tutorials. These tutorials include real-time implementation and testing of BCIs, and also include demonstrations for how BCI2000 can be used to realize different types of neuroscientific or neurotechnology experiments.
