ABSTRACT
Brain-computer interfaces (BCI) and extended reality technologies (XR), when synergized, provide the potential for virtual environments to dynamically respond to the user's mental states by interpreting brain wave data. Such adaptive virtual environments are invaluable across various domains – offering powerful tools with which to enhance education and training, facilitate both diagnosis and therapy in healthcare, and enrich the entertainment industry.
TOPICS
Topics of interest for this Special Session includes, but are not limited to:
- EEG-based psychophysical condition monitoring;
- Wearable sensors;
- Neuro- and bio-feedback;
- Accuracy and Precision versus wearability;
- Machine learning-based biosignal processing;
- Extended Reality for improving ecological validity;
- Domain adaptation and generalization for biosignal-based mental state detection;
- Applications and case studies.
