Abstract

We explore the use of brain activity in scenarios of Human-Computer Interaction. Specifically, we aim at the detection of EEG correlates of error awareness to dynamically adapt a Human activity recognition system. We design a Human Computer Interaction experiment which consists in: - a memory game controlled by a Human Activity Recognition System - an EEG - Error Potential (ErrP) detection System We use EEG signal processing to recognize error related potentials (ErrP) on single trial basis. ErrP are emitted when a human observes an unexpected behaviour in a system: we propose and evaluate performance improvements provided by the ErrP detection system as a "teacher" for the on-line adaptation of a user centered activity recognition system. The gesture recognition system becomes self-aware of its performance, and can self-improve through re-occurring detection of ErrP signals.

Human–computer interaction

Human–computer interaction (HCI) is research in the design and the use of computer technology, which focuses on the interfaces between people (users) and computers. HCI researchers observe the ways humans interact with computers and design technologies that allow humans to interact with computers in novel ways. A device that allows interaction between human being and a computer is known as a "Human-computer Interface (HCI)".

Self-awareness

In philosophy of self, self-awareness is the experience of one's own personality or individuality. It is not to be confused with consciousness in the sense of qualia. While consciousness is being aware of one's environment, body, and lifestyle, self-awareness is the recognition of that awareness. Self-awareness is how an individual experiences and understands their own character, feelings, motives, and desires. Neural basis of self There are questions regarding what part of the brain allows us to be self-aware and how we are biologically programmed to be self-aware.

Awareness

In philosophy and psychology, awareness is a concept about knowing, perceiving and being cognizant of events. Another definition describes it as a state wherein a subject is aware of some information when that information is directly available to bring to bear in the direction of a wide range of behavioral actions. The concept is often synonymous to consciousness and is also understood as being consciousness itself. The states of awareness are also associated with the states of experience so that the structure represented in awareness is mirrored in the structure of experience.
