Connectionists: PhD student position on "Brain-Computer Interfaces for Attention-driven Augmented Reality Interfaces" at the University of Bremen, Germany

[Felix Putze]

At the Cognitive Systems Lab, University of Bremen, Germany, we offer a 
fully funded reseach assistant position (36 months) for a PhD student on 
the topic "Brain-Computer Interfaces for Attention-driven Augmented 
Reality Interfaces".

Topic: Augmented reality (AR) glasses enable the embedding of visual 
content in a real scene. In the project „Brain-Computer Interfaces for 
Attention-driven Augmented Reality Interfaces“, we will implement user 
interfaces which adapt to the user, for example by avoiding distractions 
or directing the user’s attention towards missed information. For this 
purpose, the user’s attention is captured from sensor data (via EEG and 
eye tracking) and modeled with machine learning techniques. Building on 
existing models and interfaces, the task is to build models for 
estimation of a person’s attention from fusion and classification of 
multimodal data streams and context information as well as their 
evaluation in user studies. An additional task is to develop 
prototypical user interfaces for AR glasses and to test their usability. 
Furthermore, the position involves a small teaching load in the context 
of Human-Computer Interaction and machine learning.

To apply, send your CV, a motivation letter, and relevant certificates 
to felix.putze at uni-bremen.de no later than June 22nd. You can also 
contact my by e-mail if you have any questions regarding the position.
