We will host a SIG PhysioCHI at ACM CHI 2025, which is held from April 26 to May 1, 2025, in Yokohama. Assistant Professor Perusquia will help the SIG as one of the organizers.
Human-Centered Physiological Computing in Practice
In recent years, integrating physiological signals in Human-Computer Interaction research has significantly advanced our understanding of user experiences and interactions. However, the interdisciplinary nature of this research presents numerous challenges, including the need for standardized protocols and reporting guidelines. By fostering cross-disciplinary collaboration, we seek to enhance the reproducibility, transparency, and ethical considerations of physiological data in HCI. The purpose of this SIG is to offer a lightweight opportunity for CHI attendees to connect with the community around the center point of physiological computing. This SIG will address key topics such as technical challenges, ethical implications, reproducibility, and open science. We aim to meet as a community and connect with HCI researchers and practitioners to network and exchange bi-directional ideas. Ultimately, our goal is to create a foundation for future research and to establish a community around physiological computing.
SIG Topics
In the SIG, we will wrap the discussion around the following topics:
- Technical Challenges
- Ethical Implications
- Reproducibility and Open Science
- Application of Human-Centered Physiological Computing for Implicit and Explicit interaction
Goals of the SIG
This SIG aims to discuss the cross-disciplinary challenges of working integration of physiological signals in HCI requires a very wide with physiological signals and outline actionable steps. The range of expertise, spanning different areas such as signal processing, data analysis, machine learning etc. This calls for multidisciplinary collaborations to ensure continuous research output and assure good practices. With the aim to create a meeting point for researchers with diverse backgrounds from all around the world, we welcome experts from various disciplines such as HCI researchers, neuroscientists, machine learning engineers, system designers, psychologists, data scientists, and other relevant fields. By bringing together researchers with diverse backgrounds, we hope to create a community that will dispose with relevant expertise to discuss challenges and solutions that address the interdisciplinary nature of integrating physiological signals in interactive systems.
Full proposal available here.
This SIG will be a part of the CHI25 program, taking place at the Pacifico, Yokohama, Japan.
Further details TBA.
