Contact:  hagen.lehmann@iit.it

Organizers:

Research Centre on Complex Systems / Department of Human and Social Sciences, University of Bergamo, Bergamo, Italy
and
Hagen Lehmann
Italian Institute of Technology, iCub Facility, Genoa, Italy

This workshop intends to bring together specialists investigating one or more aspects of behavior coordination in three different research domains: human-human interaction, human-animal interaction, human-robot interaction.

The aim is to develop an interdisciplinary dialogue directed towards cross-fertilization between these fields, and to stimulate front line research engaged in (a) deepening the scientific understanding of the natural mechanisms underlying behavioral coordination through their robotic modeling; (b) facilitating and enhancing human-robot cooperation on the basis of the implementation of these mechanisms in human-robot interaction.… read more. “Call: Behavior Coordination between Humans, Animals and Robots – ICDL-EPIROB 2014 Workshop”

Scientists Found a Way to Email Brain Waves

Researchers have successfully communicated words from one brain to another over the internet.

Brain wave-sensing technology, which utilizes electroencephalography-powered headsets, has already been demonstrated to do all kinds of impressive things, such as piloting an aircraft or controlling a robot. Now, researchers are investigating how to telepathically communicate with the tech.

An international team of researchers was able to use electroencephalography (EEG) to convert the words “hola” and “ciao” from a person’s brain waves into binary. That data was transmitted from a subject in India to another subject in France, where the process was successfully reversed. In other words, the researchers say they’ve created a brain-to-brain communication system.… read more. “Humans communicate info brain-to-brain over internet”
