NeuroCHI: Are We Prepared for the Integration of the Brain with Computing?
Recent advancements in neuroscience, wearable technology, and artificial intelligence are paving the way for computing systems that are integrated with the brain and nervous system. Over the past years, we have witnessed the simultaneous progression of wearable neurotechnology and AI-based modeling and analysis of brain data. Coincidentally, this period has also seen HCI researchers showcase their translational work, incorporating neuroscience insights into innovative interactive systems, including brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) and non-invasive brain stimulation. These efforts may transform our brain and nervous system activity into direct interfaces for interacting with computing systems. Our panel poses the question: "Is the HCI community ready for the integration of the brain with computing?" Together with a panel of experts, we will review the current state of the intersection between HCI and neurotechnology, discuss the research questions and novel applications that emerge from merging these two fields, and debate ethical implications.
