<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">--------------------------------------<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">You are cordially invited to make a contribution to a special issue of Brain-Computer Interfaces (<a href="http://tinyurl.com/BCIjournal">http://tinyurl.com/BCIjournal</a>), entitled “Affective Brain-Computer Interfaces”.
The special issue is a follow-up to the successful 3rd aBCI workshop held at the ACII conference in Geneva, in September 2013 (<a href="http://hmi.ewi.utwente.nl/abci2013">http://hmi.ewi.utwente.nl/abci2013</a>). But, this Call is open for every researcher
working in the fields of affective brain-computer interfacing, emotions and brain imaging.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Affective BCI aims at the detection of affective states, such as emotions or moods, from neuro-physiological signals. Such systems, allowing users to control computer games by their emotions, support relaxation training,
or trigger your alarm clock during a shallow sleep stage have been proposed, implemented, and sold. Moreover, the affordable hardware and software tools also encouraged artists to play with the idea of a direct access to people's most private information:
their affective and cognitive states. From these explorations followed a number of interesting installations, suggesting novel ways of human-computer as well as human-human interaction: encouraging affective self-reflection, the synchronization and empathizing
between or the competition of different minds, and the collaborative creation and manipulation of digital multimodal content.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">This special issue on aBCI explores the current possibilities and limitations of using neuro-physiological signals as a modality for the recognition of affective/cognitive states, and looks at visions for the use of this
information about the user state in applications for domains like health, arts, and entertainment. We are seeking theoretical, methodological, and empirical papers dealing with different topics that include, but are not limited to:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">- novel methods and protocols for affective/cognitive state induction and data collection for aBCI, addressing challenges such as generalization/specificity of mental state classification;<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">- the detection and characterization of affective/cognitive states via neurophysiological activity;<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">- the incorporation of additional modalities, such as physiological sensors, video, or audio, to support the aBCI calibration and validation;
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">- innovative concepts for communication or adaptive interfaces using aBCI.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
