When the three of us decided to coedit a special issue on Statistical Signal Processing in Neuroscience, we implicitly knew that the submitted papers would span a wide field, the field measured in coordinate system with disparate axes: engineering-oriented or scientific; analysis of single neuron, populations or aggregate activity recordings; and known signal processing techniques or novel ones “invented” for the neuroscience application. We were not disappointed. The six papers chosen for this special issue represent the best of the submitted papers.

Dr. Karim Oweiss was invited to speak at the International Conference on Neuroprosthetic Devices (ICNPD) on Feb 27-28, 2010. An Abstract of his talk can be found here.

Dr. Karim G. Oweiss launched a new book entitled “Statistical Signal Processing for Neuroscience and Neurotechnology” ( ISBN: 978-0-12-375027-3, Academic Press, Elsevier).

Dr. Oweiss spoke on September 9^th, 2010 about "Neural Encoding, Decoding and Control: the quest for bi-directonal brain machine interfaces" at the Institute of Neuroscience at University of Newcastle, United Kingdom. An abstract of his talk can be found below.

Dr. Oweiss spoke on September 8^th, 2010 at University College London, United Kingdom. His plenary talk, entitled "An engineer’s view of the brain: can we electronically read and write to the mind?", was part of INSPIRE 2010 Conference on information representation and estimation organized by the Center for Computational Statistics and Machine Learning at UCL. An abstract of his talk can be found below.
