Biography
Gerwin Schalk is interested in integrating scientific, engineering, and clinical concepts to advance our understanding of the brain and to use this new understanding to develop novel neurotechnologies that improve people's lives.

He authored or co-authored more than 130 peer-reviewed publications, one book and 17 chapters, and is ranked #23 in neuroscience in China. His work has been extensively showcased by the media including features on CNN, NBC, CBS, Science Channel, and articles in New York Times Magazine, Discover Magazine, Forbes, Technology Review, and Wired. He is also listed in Who's Who in the World and Who's Who in America, and received several awards for his work. 

Abstract
In this talk, Dr. Schalk will discuss the neuroscientific, engineering, and clinical principles behind brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) that connect the brain to external devices. He will also highlight different considerations for translating BCIs from the laboratory or clinic to applications that can help many people.
