30 OCTOBER – 2 NOVEMBER | INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON BIOMEDICAL AND HEALTH INFORMATICS (ICBHI 2024)

Dear ICBHI Friends,
 
The Digital Health Division of the IFMBE has launched together with the International Conference on Biomedical and Health Informatics, a Scientific Challenge. This edition of the Scientific Challenge aims to identify someone’s emotions directly from captured brain and body signals. Accurately identifying emotional states is crucial for understanding how emotions affect us and developing novel avenues for diagnosis and intervention. By combining advanced brain scanning methods with the study of bodily reactions, scientists aim to decode how emotions work in our brains and bodies.
 
In this challenge, participants are given access to a rich dataset of 20 subjects, each containing 30 trials of 25 seconds of data from three simultaneous sources.

(1)  pre-processed fMRI data, 

(2) photoplethysmography (PPG) data,

(3)  respiratory data.

 
Given your expertise in Physiological and fMRI BOLD Signals, we warmly invite you to participate in this scientific challenge. We encourage you to register and submit your solution to the challenge web site, as well as submit a paper related to your solution.
Note: All accepted abstracts can be submitted as full text scientific papers within the specified deadline for publication under a Topical Collection of the IUPESM journal Health and Technology. The full-text article will be subject of a peer-review process and subsequent publication in the Health and Technology Journal, Issue 14, Volume 6, 2024.
 
For more information on the procedure and data, as well as rules and deadlines, please seehttps://www.icbhi2024.com/sc
Scientific Challenge Contact email: icbhi2024.sc@gmail.com 

Important Date for Scientific Challenge

  • Dataset open Test (Phase I): 1 April ~ 31 May
  • Abstract submission for SC: 15 April ~ 15 June
  • Dataset open Test (Phase II): 15 June ~ 15 July
  • Notification of acceptance: 1 August
  • Paper final submission: 1 September
  • Early registration: 1 October

Exciting activities throughout the competition will include lectures on cutting-edge science, high-end medical equipment displays, and corporate presentations, providing participating students and faculty with a rich feast of knowledge in biomedical engineering.

The competition only accepts team entries. Members may form a team from more than one college. However, only one college should be selected as the primary participant. All entrants shall join teams of 1 to 5 members. All entrants shall be essential members of the team. The team leader must be currently enrolled at an overseas university. The primary participant college should be an overseas university that is officially recognized. Participating schools and team members can be from domestic universities.

The offline activities for this competition are scheduled to take place in Hainan in late July 2024. Guided by clinical requirements, the competition encourages participants from various disciplines, such as biomedical engineering, electronic information, mechanical engineering, optics, materials science, biology, and physics. Entries include but are not limited to algorithm development, hardware design, system integration, and other related content in biomedical engineering. For those interested in participating in the international track, faculty and students are encouraged to pre-register themselves considering the clinical applications, disciplinary knowledge, and interests.

Conferință Națională de Bioetică

,

TERMENUL LIMITĂ PENTRU ÎNSCRIERE CU TAXĂ REDUSĂ A FOST PRELUNGIT PÂNĂ PE DATA DE 30 NOIEMBRIE 2023

Vă invităm la cea de-a XVIII-a Conferință Națională de Bioetică, ce se va desfășura online, în perioada 7-9 decembrie 2023.

În acest an tema conferinței este ”O perspectivă bioetică asupra provocărilor lumii contemporane”. Această temă poate fi considerată o continuare a dezbaterilor din anii anteriori privind provocările etice ale progresului tehnologic, dar are și noi valențe. Astfel, alegerea temei a avut la bază mai multe rațiuni:

În primul rând, deoarece vremurile pe care le trăim sunt complicate și adesea dominate de conflicte. Conflictul major în secolul XXI este, în opinia mea, cel dintre setea de sens și criza de sens. Din acesta se dezvoltă alte stări conflictuale: scientism versus holism, material versus spiritual, evolutionism versus creationism, adevăr științific versus adevăr revelat, progres versus reglementare, bioetică seculară versus bioetică religioasă etc.

În al doilea rând, deoarece încă nu s-a dat un răspuns unanim acceptat la întrebarea: Cât și cum putem cunoaște fenomenele lumii care ne înconjoară? Cunoașterea desemnează o diversitate deconcertantă de activități și de rezultate ale activităților omenești: pe de o parte activitatea de producere a cunoștințelor și însușirea acestora, iar pe de altă parte noțiuni, judecăți, teorii privind cunoștințele deja constituite. De aici, dificultatea de a găsi răspunsul.

În sfârșit, deoarece o asemenea temă permite participarea la dezbateri a reprezentanților din diferite domenii ale activităților umane: biologic, medical, juridic, tehnic, social, artistic, și nu în ultimul rând filozofic și religios. Vă invit să medităm împreună, încercând să construim “o punte spre viitor”.

Vă așteptăm cu drag!

Cu deosebită considerație,
Prof. Dr. Vasile Astarastoae
Președinte de onoare al celei de-a XVIII-a Conferințe Naționale de Bioetică
