The International Conference on Image Processing (ICIP) is the premier forum for the presentation of technological advances and research results in the fields of theoretical, experimental, and applied image and video processing. ICIP-2010 will be held in Hong Kong on 26-29 September 2010. Thanks to the strong support of the IEEE Signal Processing Society and the commercial and industrial sectors in Hong Kong, the ICIP 2010 Organizing Committee is pleased to announce that a number of travel grants will be available for ICIP2010 participants.

For each of the past 6 years, the Machine Learning for Signal Processing (MLSP) TC has hosted a data analysis competition. The specific application varies from year to year. The goal for this year's competition, MLSP 2010 Competition: Mind Reading, was to develop a feature extraction method and classifier to detect the neural signatures in EEG data that occur when the subject detects an instance of a pre-defined target during an image presentation task (using the oddball paradigm).
