With the integration of sensors into ubiquitous body-worn devices and the advancement of machine learning methods, it is time to use the full spectrum of biosignal data to understand human needs and adapt cognitive systems accordingly.

Biosignal-adaptive cognitive systems

The acquisition, processing, and decoding of multimodal biosignals in real-time, with the aim of interpreting human behavior and predicting human needs in the context of communication with cognitive robots and systems
