Scope:
Computer systems are increasingly pervasive, in particular in biomedical applications. Physiological data in its different dimensions, either bioelectrical, biomechanical, biochemical or biophysical, collected through specialized biomedical devices, involving image, video and other types of signal, in wireless body networks or otherwise, is opening new boundaries in the field of human-computer interaction into what can be defined as physiological computing. Neurotechnology is one of the most promising areas within physiological computing, where some of the most significant advances are being witnessed, including extensive research on brain-computer interfaces. NeuroPhyCS brings together researchers and practitioners interested in creating and using novel interaction devices, adaptable interfaces, algorithms and tools, through the study, planning, and design of interfaces between people and computers, supported by multimodal biosignals. Researchers attending NeuroPhyCS will interact with other researchers and practitioners that seek to push forward the state-of-the-art. We seek original submissions that describe novel methodologies, technologies and applications in this field, and greatly encourage authors to complement their oral and poster communications, with demonstrations showing novel physiological computing and human-computer interaction concepts or systems.
