(Call for Papers & Deadline Extension) NeuroDesign in Human-Robot Interaction: The Making of Engaging HRI Technology Your Brain Can’t Resist We are pleased to announce a call for papers and the extension of the deadline for the special issue - “NeuroDesign in Human-Robot Interaction: The making of engaging HRI technology your brain can’t resist”. This special issue will be published in the research topic of the journal - Frontiers in Robotics and AI and Frontiers in Neurorobotics. In this special issue, we will discuss the fascinating Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) research with the interfacing of applied neuroscience, psychology and design methodologies. Scope of submissions: The complex tapestry of human biology, consciousness, and cognition presents a unique challenge for technology designed to interact with us. This complexity demands a multidisciplinary approach that leverages insights from neuroscience, behavioral psychology, cognitive science, and artificial intelligence to address the barriers that currently hinder natural and effective human-robot interaction. This special issue aims to bridge the gap between laboratory research and practical applications, guiding the development of HRI strategies that are not only technically proficient but also intuitive, engaging, and cognitively harmonious with human operators. Topics: We invite original research, review articles, and perspective pieces that contribute to the following non-exhaustive list of topics: 1. Neuroscience-Driven HRI Strategies: - Use of neuroimaging tools (fMRI, EEG, fNIRS) to decode brain activities that can enhance HRI. - Translational neuroscience methods to inform and refine HRI design. 2. Iterative Development and Brain-Centric Interfaces: - Insights from iterative design processes to craft improved human, brain, and robot interfaces. - Integration of human and robot in a symbiotic closed-loop system through innovative I/O interfaces. 3. Invasive and Non-Invasive NeuroDesign Applications: - Development of smart wearables, exoskeletons, or implantable devices monitoring brainwaves and physiological signals. - Design of interfaces to track and influence mechanical movements in tandem with human motion. 4. Neurofeedback Devices for Emotional and Behavioral Regulation: - Application of devices such as tDCS, tMS, NMES for neural or muscular stimulation. - Exploration of neurofeedback's role in modulating emotional and behavioral states in HRI contexts. 5. AI and Machine Learning in NeuroDesign: - Co-design of hardware and software integrating AI to enhance the user experience. - Implementation of machine learning algorithms for a brain-centered approach in perception and cognition.

TR: Master Internship
by DEPANNEMAECKER Damien Nov. 3, 2023

Nov. 3, 2023

Hi, Could you distribute this announcement to your students? Thanks a lot! We are seeking 3 master's students to systematically evaluate Virtual Epilepsy Patients (VEP). The VEP workflow employs computational models and machine learning techniques to estimate epileptogenic networks and assist in surgical strategies. In this context, the computational models are personalized whole-brain network models based on the patient's recorded data. VEP represents the first well-established instance of applying the concept of virtual brain twins in a clinical trial, called Epinov. Our team is a world leader in advancing the concept of virtual brain twins. Three topics: 1. Systematic investigation of the sensitivity of the VEP in terms of electrode locations. 2. Systematic investigation of the robustness of the VEP in terms of data features. 3. Systematic investigation of the robustness of the VEP in terms of the size of the windows of seizure analysis. About the ideal candidates: * A strong grasp of mathematics, physics, neuroscience, and computer science, or a genuine enthusiasm for cultivating these skills, is essential. * The ability to quickly acquire proficiency in new computational tools is important, and we will offer comprehensive guidance to support your learning. * Proficiency in coding is a fundamental skill. * Ideally, you are a Master 2 student and would like to complete your 6-month internship in our laboratory. * An added advantage would be a strong motivation to pursue a career in scientific research and aspire to become a Ph.D. candidate. What you will gain at the end of the training (internship): 1. You will have a clear understanding of the concept of virtual brain twins and how to use personalized modeling for clinical applications. 2. You will acquire knowledge of computational modeling. 3. You will become familiar with the various multidisciplinary approaches and perspectives in mathematics, physics, neuroscience, computer science, and medicine. 4. You will develop the ability to conduct systematic analysis. 5. You will be proficient in using VEP pipelines, which integrate numerous analysis and data preprocessing tools and models, and you will also gain the capability to add additional modules. To apply, please send your CV with 2 reference letters and a cover letter to: Huifang Wang, huyfang.wang(a)univ-amu.fr<mailto:huyfang.wang@univ-amu.fr> and Damien Depannemaecker, damien.depannemaecker(a)univ-amu.fr<mailto:damien.DEPANNEMAECKER@univ-amu.fr>

You are invited to join an exciting line-up of leaders in the field to address these questions. Confirmed speakers include Adam Kepecs (WashU) Mackenzie Mathis (EPFL) Terry Sejnowski (Salk Institute) Andreas Tolias (Baylor College of Medicine) Richard Zemel (Columbia University) Abstract submissions for posters are encouraged, and some of these will be selected for short talks. Some travel awards will be available for qualified trainees. The conference is sponsored by the Center for Theoretical and Computational Neuroscience at Washington University in St Louis (ctcn.wustl.edu) It will be held in the new 600,000 sq ft Neuroscience Research Building on the WashU Medical School campus, into which ~100 neuroscience labs have recently moved. The deadline for registration and abstract submission is Wednesday, February 28, 2024. However, due to the size of the auditorium total registrations are limited to 150, and so registration may close earlier than Feb 28 if this limit is reached. Registration and abstract submission will open in January 2024.
