IEEE Brain
 Join the Discussion!
IEEE Brain-storming is a new interactive feature that offers the opportunity for the community to engage in an open dialogue on future technological visions.

The first position paper has been published, and we are requesting your comments on scientific and engineering approaches for future effective human-intelligent agent teaming. Polling questions are embedded throughout the position paper as well as comments blocks for more substantial dialogue.
Brain Data Hackathon at IEEE COMPSAC 2018 Conference
 23-24 July, 2018 in Tokyo, Japan
The hackathon is sponsored by IEEE Brain Initiative, IEEE Big Data Technical Community and IEEE Standards Association, and is co-located with the 42nd IEEE International Conference on Computers, Software & Applications.  

Individuals and teams are invited to explore new patterns or knowledge from the given NeuroRacer datasets, which can be uploaded from the IEEE Dataport.  No neuroscience background is needed, and tutorials will be given at the start of the hackthon.

2019 International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging (ISBI)
 Call for Papers

The IEEE International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging (ISBI) is a scientific conference dedicated to mathematical, algorithmic, and computational aspects of biological and biomedical imaging, across all scales of observation. It fosters knowledge transfer among different imaging communities and contributes to an integrative approach to biomedical imaging. ISBI is a joint initiative from the IEEE Signal Processing Society (SPS) and the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBS). The 2019 meeting will be held in Venice, Italy and will include tutorials, challenges and a scientific program composed of plenary talks, invited special sessions, as well as oral and poster presentations of peer-reviewed papers.

Publications Spotlight
TBME Impact Factor raised to 4.288
According to the newly released Journal Citation Reports, the Impact Factor of IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering (TBME) has increased from 2.233 in 2013 to 4.288 in 2017 reflecting a 92% improvement.

Congratulations to all! I want to thank all the editors for the hard working and commitments in the past 5.5 years! Your contributions and dedication have made a difference. Appreciations also go to the Scientific Advisory Board for strategic guidance, the Managing Editor who works every day, all IEEE staff, and all colleagues who contributed to the upward improvement of TBME over the past 5.5 years. 
Passive Radar for Opportunistic Monitoring in E-Health Applications
 by  Wenda Li  ;  Bo Tan ;  Robert Piechocki
This paper proposes passive Doppler radar as a non-contact sensing method to capture human body movements and to recognize respiration and physical activities in e-Health applications. The system uses existing in-home wireless signals as the source to interpret human activity and an innovative two-stage signal processing framework. Experimental results show that passive radar is a novel solution for multiple healthcare applications.
