In this class we examine the field of HCI using Neuroscience as a lens to generate ideas.
You will read and discuss papers every week (from both neuroscience and HCI). You will give presentations in class about selected topics and generate ideas for HCI projects/inventions that are rooted in neuroscience-ideas. Finally, you will crystalize one of these ideas in a four-page paper and 5 minute presentation. Moreover, if you are taking this class as an elective for grade (rather than pass/fail seminar) you will also instantiate one of these ideas as a project, which you present at the end of the class as a demo alongside the paper.
This is an advanced graduate level seminar that assumes expertise in HCI (e.g., especially in haptics and human actuation) and in basic neuroscience (e.g., sensory systems), while all of my other four classes can be taken without previous HCI know-how, this one is not recommended.
