Call for Participation

Biosensing technologies have become increasingly ubiquitous in Human-Computer Interaction. Biosignals provide novel opportunities for interaction, offering valuable insights into ordinarily hidden processes inside our bodies, revealing somatic information pertaining to our and other’s bodies, emotions, health, and cognitive processes. However, the integration of biosignals in HCI presents many challenges pertaining to UX, I/O, interpretation of biodata, representation of biosignals, and broader ethical concerns. To map out the landscape of existing challenges and the future research directions, we invite participants working with or interested in biosignals to join a one-day workshop held at the 23rd International Conference
on Mobile and Ubiquitous Multimedia (MUM’24) in Stockholm, Sweden. We welcome participants with a diverse range of expertise and backgrounds in HCI, design, digital art, psychology, education, health, philosophy, ethics, law, etc. Participants with established expertise in biosensing will have an opportunity to share their practice-based knowledge and foster new collaborations. Participants new to the field will have a hands-on introduction to the topic, helping them identify how and why they may employ biosensing in their work.
