Modeling User Preferences via Brain-Computer Interfacing
Present Brain-Computer Interfacing (BCI) technology allows inference and detection of cognitive and affective states, but fairly little has been done to study scenarios in which such information can facilitate new applications that rely on modeling human cognition. One state that can be quantified from various physiological signals is attention. Estimates of human attention can be used to reveal preferences and novel dimensions of user experience. Previous approaches have tackled these incredibly challenging tasks using a variety of behavioral signals, from dwell-time to click-through data, and computational models of visual correspondence to these behavioral signals. However, behavioral signals are only rough estimations of the real underlying attention and affective preferences of the users. Indeed, users may attend to some content simply because it is salient, but not because it is really interesting, or simply because it is outrageous. With this paper, we put forward a research agenda and example work using BCI to infer users' preferences, their attentional correlates towards visual content, and their associations with affective experience. Subsequently, we link these to relevant applications, such as information retrieval, personalized steering of generative models, and crowdsourcing population estimates of affective experiences.

A Technique Based on Chaos for Brain Computer Interfacing
A user of Brain Computer Interface (BCI) system must be able to control external computer devices with brain activity. Although the proof-of-concept was given decades ago, the reliable translation of user intent into dev…
Brain Computer InterfaceClassificationClusteringEEG+3An approach to interfacing the brain with quantum computers: practical steps and caveats
We report on the first proof-of-concept system demonstrating how one can control a qubit with mental activity. We developed a method to encode neural correlates of mental activity as instructions for a quantum computer. …
Transferring Subspaces Between Subjects in Brain-Computer Interfacing
Compensating changes between a subjects' training and testing session in Brain Computer Interfacing (BCI) is challenging but of great importance for a robust BCI operation. We show that such changes are very similar betw…

Despite the rapid advances in Brain-computer Interfacing (BCI) and continuous effort to improve the accuracy of brain decoding systems, the urge for the systems to reconstruct the experiences of the users has been widely…
Brain DecodingregressionModel-Agnostic Meta-Learning for EEG Motor Imagery Decoding in Brain-Computer-Interfacing
We introduce here the idea of Meta-Learning for training EEG BCI decoders. Meta-Learning is a way of training machine learning systems so they learn to learn. We apply here meta-learning to a simple Deep Learning BCI arc…
