<p style="text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-US"><font color="#000000" face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">Physiological sensors such as Electroencephalography (EEG),
Electromyography (EMG), heart-rate sensors in addition to on-body sensors,
haptic output technologies such as mechanic actuators, Electrical Muscle
Stimulation (EMS) among other on-body IO technologies all provide rich
opportunities for enhancing interactive systems. The human body as a source of information
reveals a myriad of emotional and bodily states, which can now be measured
using consumer electroencephalographs, muscle activity sensors, among others.
On the other side, the human body can be augmented to provide output such as
movements or gestures. Current communication technologies often suffer from
being impersonal and noncontextual. Using on-body sensors for implicit or
explicit sensing and physical output modalities (e.g. EMS) to transfer
information, sense context, emotions, and mental state opens up the possibility
of using physiological sensing to enhance technologies connecting people. In
this workshop we will explore, ideate and prototype the opportunities provided
by physiological sensors such as EEG, EMG and EMS for building seamless, novel
and embodied communication systems. We will also discuss current technical and
design challenges posed by physiological IO and propose new solutions.<span></span></font></span></p>
