N2 - Great things can be achieved even with very low bandwidth. Stephen Hawking has been able to break new ground in theoretical physics just by twitching his hand and cheek. Jean-Dominique Bauby was able to write a best-selling memoir by blinking one eyelid. By reading and decoding "brain-waves", the field of brain-computer interfacing (BCI) is poised to open up the possibility of such expression, even for people who can no longer move a single muscle. A BCI still requires an HCI front-end to be of practical use, but many currently-used HCIs do not adequately address limitations on the typical target user's input (e.g., limited eye movement leading to poor spatial vision) or output (e.g. variable delays, and false positives/negatives, in "pressing the button"). In this symposium, BCI experts will present their view of the challenges arising from these limitations. The HCI community is invited to participate in a competition to provide the best solutions.
