Abstract

Physiological Computing systems are technological systems that incorporate physiological data from humans into their functionality or display these data at their interfaces. Neuroergonomics examines the brain mechanisms and underlying human–technology interaction in increasingly naturalistic settings representative of work and in everyday-life situations. The presenters will introduce Physiological Computing and Neuroergonomics in applications that vary from social robotics and videogames in laboratory settings to firearms training in virtual reality to aviation operations in highly ecological environments.

Speakers
