Connectionists: Workshop @ IEEE ISMAR: Workshop on Combining Mixed Reality and Brain-Computer Interfaces: Challenges and Opportunities (MR&BCI)

[Felix Putze]

In the context of Mixed Reality (MR), a neural user interface (or 
Brain-Computer Interfaces, BCI) can either be used as an explicit input 
modality (e.g. for entry of text or commands) or as an implicit channel 
to proactively adapt the 3D user interface, reducing the need for manual 
adjustments by the user or by the designer. Beyond real-time 
applications, neural and physiological data can also be used for 
evaluation purposes to test and improve MR interfaces and interaction 
paradigms, giving continuous data for important aspects of user 
experience which can be hard to assess otherwise, such as presence, 
workload, or attention. The topic of bringing MR technologies together 
with neural and physiological data is gaining more and more interest in 
the field as the necessary technical components are becoming more mature 
and widespread.

In this workshop, at the (virtual) IEEE ISMAR 2020 conference, we will 
feature presentations of original research, work-in-progress, tools and 
data sets, as well as challenge and perspective papers on the 
combination of neural and/or physiological interfaces with MR 
technologies and applications. Given the restrictions on research 
involving participants during the COVID-19 pandemic, we also encourage 
interested participants to submit synthesizing works (e.g., reviews and 
meta-analyses) or planned and formally preregistered studies of relevance.
