Objectives:
In interactive-immersive systems that rely on digital technology,
human interactivity and responsiveness are directly linked to the
processes of human perception and cognition.
This course introduces current research trends and emerging
paradigms on the relation between digital technologies and
multi-modal perception and cognition. Particular emphasis is put on
multimodal
perception processes that are usually involved in interactive
digital media (e.g., visual, auditory, haptic, proprioception) and
higher cognitive processes related to interactivity (e.g.
multimodal integration, enaction, intelligibility, cognitive
closure, affective states and emotions,
spatial cognition and navigation).
The course draws relevant knowledge from a variety of disciplines
and fields such as cognitive neuroscience, ecological psychology,
biology, cognitive ergonomics and cognitive technologies. Different
bio-behavioral and biofeedback methods for interaction design and
assessment are also introduced (e.g. EEG, EMG, ECG, galvanic skin
response, ocular measures) and new trends in integration of
interactive digital technologies with cognitive processes are
addressed (e.g. multimodal interfaces and set-ups,
brain-computer-interfaces, enactive interfaces). Finally, the
course provides the opportunity for targeting the knowledge
provided towards the specialization profile chosen by the student
(Computer graphics, Interaction, Games).
