Academic Press Current Research in Neuroadaptive Technology

Current Research in Neuroadaptive Technology provides readers with insight into the state-of-the-art field of neuroadaptive technology. The book covers the breadth and depth of current research in this field, covering a range of application domains in sufficient technical detail. The multidisciplinary character of this field means that the publication of key research is often fragmented across specialist journals. Here, the editors have consolidated current research, carefully selecting key topics that are clustered around the concept of neuroadaptive technology. In summary, the book meets the needs of readers by consolidating multidisciplinary research around a nascent technological concept. The topic of neuroadaptive technology is novel and contemporary and editors Dr. Stephen H. Fairclough and Dr. Thorsten O. Zander have captured issues related to this emerging technology at the point of inception. It is a key reference for biomedical engineers and researchers in neural engineering, biomedical engineering, computer science, and mathematics. Review Examines the latest research in neuroadaptive technology and its applications to human-computer interaction, signal processing, machine learning, applied neuroscience From the Back Cover <p>Neuroadaptive systems are a category of emerging technology where neurophysiological signals are collected in order to quantify the psychological state of the user in real-time. This dynamic quantification is utilized to enable intelligent adaptation at the interface. In principle, this closed-loop design enables technology to adaptively support the goals of the user in an implicit fashion. <i>Current Research in Neuroadaptive Technology</i> provides readers with the state-of-the-art in the field of neuroadaptive technology. Research on this topic is inherently multidisciplinary, encompassing: neurosciences, human factors psychology, engineering, computer science and ethics. This book provides readers with access to the breadth and depth of current research in this field, i.e. to cover a range of application domains in sufficient technical detail.</p> <p>The multidisciplinary character of this field means that the publication of key research is often fragmented across specialist journals; the editors have consolidated current research within this book. By carefully selecting key topics that are clustered around the concept of neuroadaptive technology, this book also draws the attention of the reader to points of convergence between different disciplines. In summary, the book meets the needs of readers by consolidating multidisciplinary research around a nascent technological concept. The topic of neuroadaptive technology is novel and contemporary and editors Dr. Stephen Fairclough and Dr. Thorsten Zander have captured issues related to this emerging technology at the point of inception.</p> About the Author Stephen Fairclough obtained his undergraduate degree in Psychology from University of Central Lancashire in 1985. He received his PhD from Loughborough University in 2000 where he worked as a Research Fellow at Human Sciences and Advanced Technology (HUSAT) Research Centre. He currently is a Professor of Psychophysiology in the School of Psychology at Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU). He has been involved in applied psychophysiological and neuroscientific research for over twenty-five years. His main areas of methodological expertise cover EEG, fNIRS and cardiovascular in both laboratory and field settings. He is a director on the Executive of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society (European Chapter) and a member of the editorial board for IEEETransactions of Affective Computing. He has co-edited two collections on physiological computing research and four journal special issues. He is currently one of the General Chairs for the Neuroadaptive Technology Conference and co-founder and co-leaderof the Society for Neuroadapt
