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 multi-modal 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. multi-modal interfaces and set-ups, brain-computer-interfaces, enactive interfaces). Finally, the course provides the opportunity for targeting the knowledge provided towards the specialisation profile chosen by the student (Computer graphics, Interaction, Games).
