Advance Registration by 27 July 2009 !!! ------------------------------------------------ On-line registration (and more information) at Homepage: http://www.wici-lab.org/amtbi09/ Special discount (or free) registration is available for students and poster session presenters ************************************************ You are invited to join Active Media Technology 2009 and Brain Informatics 2009. Active Media Technology is a new area of intelligent information technology and computer science that emphasizes the proactive, seamless roles of interfaces and systems as well as new media in all aspects of digital life. An AMT based system offers services to enable the rapid design, implementation and support of customized solutions. Brain Informatics has recently emerged as an interdisciplinary research field that focuses on studying the mechanisms underlying the human information processing system (HIPS). BI lies in the interplay between the studies of human brain and the research of informatics. The two conferences will have a joint opening, keynote, reception, and banquet. Attendees only need to register for one conference and can attend sessions, workshop, posters across the two conferences.
