Abstract
Translating Brain-Machine Interfacing (BMI) systems outside research laboratories onto real applications requires reliable measurement of their performance. However, there are no accepted, well-defined criteria to assess their effectiveness, usability or safety. Few attempts of benchmarking have mainly focused on off-line comparison of decoding accuracy, neglecting the effects of closed loop interaction, as well as other elements of the BMI loop (e.g. shared-control or hybrid BMI systems). This workshop will work on the identification of specific challenges related to assessing performance of closed-loop BMI systems, and propose specific action points that can lead toward good practices and standards on benchmarking BMI systems. This workshop is supported by CLAIRE (htttp://claire-ai.org), the IEEE EMB standards committee, the IEEE Brain Initiative, the IEEE Standards Association working group on neurotechnologies (http://standards.ieee.org/industry-connections/neurotechnologies-for-brain-machine-interfacing.html).
