Call for Papers - Special Issue on Affective Brain-Computer Interfaces
(aBCI)

Brain-Computer Interfaces Journal

--------------------------------------



You are cordially invited to make a contribution to a special issue of
Brain-Computer Interfaces (http://tinyurl.com/BCIjournal), entitled “
Affective Brain-Computer Interfaces”. The special issue is a follow-up to
the successful 3rd aBCI workshop held at the ACII conference in Geneva, in
September 2013 (http://hmi.ewi.utwente.nl/abci2013). But, this Call is open
for every researcher working in the field of affective brain-computer
interfacing and interested to contribute.



Affective BCI aims at the detection of affective states, such as emotions
or moods, from neuro-physiological signals. Such systems, allowing users to
control computer games by their emotions, support relaxation training, or
trigger your alarm clock during a shallow sleep stage have been proposed,
implemented, and sold. Moreover, the affordable hardware and software tools
also encouraged artists to play with the idea of a direct access to
people's most private information: their affective and cognitive states.
>From these explorations followed a number of interesting installations,
suggesting novel ways of human-computer as well as human-human interaction:
encouraging affective self-reflection, the synchronization and empathizing
between or the competition of different minds, and the collaborative
creation and manipulation of digital multimodal content.



This special issue on aBCI explores the current possibilities and
limitations of using neuro-physiological signals as a modality for the
recognition of affective/cognitive states, and looks at visions for the use
of this information about the user state in applications for domains like
health, arts, and entertainment. We are seeking theoretical,
methodological, and empirical papers dealing with different topics that
include, but are not limited to:

- novel methods and protocols for affective/cognitive state induction and
data collection for aBCI, addressing challenges such as
generalization/specificity of mental state classification;

- the detection of affective/cognitive states via neurophysiological
activity;

- the incorporation of additional modalities, such as physiological
sensors, video, or audio, to support the aBCI calibration and validation;

- innovative concepts for communication or adaptive interfaces using aBCI.
