Our Goal Computational Collective Intelligence (CCI) strives to cover new methodological, theoretical, and practical aspects of computational collective intelligence understood as the form of intelligence that emerges from the collaboration and competition of many individuals (artificial and/or natural). The goal of this technical committee is to provide a forum for exchanging scientific research and technological…

Brain-Machine Interface Systems
Our Goal Brain-Machine Interfaces (BMI) are about transforming thought into action, or, conversely, sensation into perception. One example of this paradigm contends that a user can perceive sensory information and enact voluntary motor actions through a direct interface between the brain and a prosthetic device in virtually the same way that we see, hear, walk,…

Our Goal Companion Technology is an emerging field of cross disciplinary research, aiming at a paradigm shift in human-technology interaction. It is intended to enable technical systems of any kind to appear as individual, competent, and empathic assistants to their users. The targeted Companion-systems are cognitive technical systems that smartly adapt their services to…

Our Goal The goal of awareness computing (AC) is to build systems that are aware. Awareness does not necessarily imply full understanding (or total comprehension). Awareness is the state or ability to perceive, to feel, or to be conscious (Wikipedia). It implies vigilance in observing or alertness in drawing inferences from…
Read More >Brain-Inspired Cognitive Systems
Our Goal Brain-inspired Cognitive Systems (BCS) are a cutting-edge field of cybernetics, brain, and system sciences that studies not only the natural intelligence foundations of AI and cognitive systems, but also the formal models of the brain simulated by computational intelligence. The persistent challenges to cognitive cybernetics and the increasing demand for brain-inspired systems in…
