Real-time monitoring of these states, in combination with information concerning the situational context of the user, enables neuroadaptive technology to adapt to the person in ways that are both timely and personalised.</div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px">The goal of neuroadaptive technology is to extend communication bandwidth between people and computers by monitoring and modelling processes within the brain and central nervous system. The adaptation of software to the psychological state of the user closes the loop by actively promoting desirable psychological states or mitigating negative ones. For example, neuroadaptive technology may purposefully initiate software adaptation designed to reduce workload or fatigue or stimulate positive emotions to aid productivity. In this way, neuroadaptive technology creates novel modes of interaction where the intentions of the user are inferred by using the brain and body as a sensor.</div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px">From a longitudinal perspective, sustained and repeated use of neuroadaptive technology can evolve the user representation into a detailed model of user preferences and responses. This development will enhance the process of system personalization to reach a level of intelligent software adaptation constructed around the desires of the individual across a range of situational and psychological contexts.</div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px">The potential of neuroadaptive technology to significantly impact on current modes of human-computer interaction raises a number of human factors issues pertaining to machine autonomy and human-machine cooperation.The reliance of this technology on neurophysiological data also begs a number of ethical and societal questions related to privacy, consent and ownership of personal data.</div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px">The closed control loop at the heart of neuroadaptive technology encapsulates multidisciplinary methods, from neuroscientific measures to engineering wearable sensors, it encompasses the development of machine learning techniques, the design/evaluation of the neuroadaptive interface and assessment of societal impact.</div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px">This is a multidisciplinary conference with strong engagement with: applied neurosciences, mathematics, electronic engineering, robotics, computer science and human factors psychology.</div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px">The format of the conference is 5 Keynotes, up to 3 parallel sessions for oral presentations, poster presentations and demonstrations
