------------------------------------------------------------------------ | WORKSHOP "SUBLIMINAL PERCEPTION IN CARS" | | Austria, Salzburg; November 30, 2011 | | colocated with AutomotiveUI 2011 (http://www.auto-ui.org/11) | | | | Workshop website: http://www.pervasive.jku.at/AutoUI_subliminal | | Submission deadline EXTENDED TO OCTOBER 24, 2011 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---------| Aim of the "Subliminal Perception in Cars"-Workshop |-------- The aim of this workshop is to discuss the potential and possible application of subliminal techniques employed to counteract the problem of limited cognitive abilities and bounded attention of a driver. To alleviate the cognitive load associated with the interaction with the variety of emerging IVIS/ADAS in addition to the driving task, we assume that subliminal techniques offer high potential to significantly reduce the amount of information to be processed simultaneously. These cues should be provided using appropriate modalities (visual, auditory, tactile/haptic, olfactory, etc.), following the specific nature of the task to fulfill, and according to a driver's abilities. As research and discussion on subliminal techniques would benefit from a significant collaborative effort from a range of disciplines like engineering, neuroscience, computer science, psychophysiology, we invite researchers from these fields to submit their position paper and participate in the workshop. We are sure that the approach provides exciting challenges, which will significantly impact on society at large, making significant contributions toward a more natural, convenient, and even a relaxing future style of driving. --------------------------| Topics of Interest |------------------------ Potential topics to be covered in position papers and discussed at the workshop include, but are not limited to * Taxonomy (definition, terminology) of terms implicit, subliminal, supraliminal, priming, conscious, preconscious * How to reduce "risk" in subliminal interfaces? * Socio technical issues, e.g., social acceptance and/or aversion or repulsion about this type of technology? * Is there an influence on individual differences like age, gender, intelligence, characteristics, abilities and disabilities, cognitive style, cultural differences, etc.? * Evaluation techniques for the perception of subliminal information * Is a impact of subliminally delivered information discoverable on the cognitive load or perceived workload (e.g., NASA TLX)? * What are appropriate subliminal techniques for workload reduction while driving? More specific, a) Unobtrusive way of drivers state detection (e.g., facial expression detection, grip strength detection, etc.), b) Subliminal display of drivers' state or adaptive interfaces (dynamically changing contents and/or formats of visual display, sonification (of EEG, alpha wave), etc.), c) Mitigation or regulation interfaces (speech-based interfaces or driving coach, mitigation using music, fragrances, etc.) * Subliminal interfaces for the automotive domain (head-up displays, vibro-tactile transducers, olfactory stimulation, brain-computer interfaces (BCI)) * What are characteristics of subliminally delivered information (e.g., reachable bandwidth, natural bounds, complexity of information, speed of perception, appropriate modalities, strength/duration/frequency of subliminal interaction)? * Potential of subliminal cues to guide a driver to the right course of action or to a specific emotional state?
