Applied Neurocognitive Systems

We are a research department at the Fraunhofer IAO and University of Stuttgart (IAT). Our vision is to create a better future of work and everyday life; where people are at the forefront while technology is assistive in the background! We create seamless human-computer interaction using brain-computer interfaces. We focus on understanding user needs and cognitive reactions to develop solutions that make daily life and work more convenient. What we do: 1) Neuroadaptive Technologies Purpose: Making Technology more Intuitive, Responsive, and Aligned with Human Needs and Skills Our customized solution: - decoding mental states during interactions - provide continuous and implicit learning - create effective feedback and adaptation Impact for next generation of technologies: - tailored feedback mechanisms for (AI-) systems - context-sensitive assignment of roles and tasks - improving contextual awareness of the user 2) Multimodal Analytics Purpose: Enhance User Trust and Reliability Perception- Crucial for the Next Generation of Technology Design Our customized solution: - customized metrics and outcomes from multimodal data - in-depth analysis using psycho-physiological and behavioural insights - context-of-use anlyses Impact for human-centred design: - iteratively benchmarking and improving products - user trust and reliability perception
