Neuro-Adaptive Human Computer Interaction

Abstract:
This talk outlines an approach of Neuro-Adaptive Human Computer Interaction, positioning the brain and body as dynamic and changing elements within computing systems. It examines how interaction with sensory substitution, spatial interfaces, AR environments, and biosignal-driven robotics can gradually influence how people perceive their surroundings and attend to their own bodily signals. By incorporating neural and physiological activity into the interaction loop, these systems do not only respond to perception and bodily awareness but can also shape them over time. This view treats interaction as a developing process that can alter how the user senses and responds, pointing toward technologies that evolve with their users rather than only adapting to them.
