Guest editors
- Domen Novak
University of Wyoming, USA
Domen Novak obtained his PhD in electrical engineering in 2011 from the University of Ljubljana, where he studied applications of psychophysiological measurements to rehabilitation robotics. In 2012, he joined the Sensory-Motor Systems Lab of ETH Zurich, where he worked on sensor fusion for rehabilitation robots as well as serious games for motor and cognitive rehabilitation. Since 2014, he is assistant professor at the University of Wyoming, where he continues his research into rehabilitation robotics and affective computing. He has authored or co-authored 15 journal papers on sensor fusion, physiological computing and virtual reality, and has written a book chapter on engineering issues in physiological computing for the book Advances in Physiological Computing. He recently organized a workshop on artificial intelligence in robotics at ICRA 2014 as well as a workshop on wearable sensors at BSN 2014.
- Guillaume Chanel
Swiss Center for Affective Sciences, Switzerland
Guillaume Chanel obtained his PhD in computer science in 2009 from the University of Geneva, where he worked on the automatic assessment of emotions based on EEG and peripheral signals. From 2009 to 2010, he was a researcher at the KML-Knowledge Media Laboratory, Aalto University, Finland. He is currently a researcher at the Computer Vision and Multimedia Laboratory (CVML) and at the Swiss Center for Affective Sciences. His research interests concern the use of physiological measures for improving man-machine interaction. More specifically, he is interested in the dynamic adjustment of game mechanics based on players' emotions and the inclusion of emotional cues in mediated social interactions. He has authored or co-authored several journal papers on the topic of affective computing and multimodal physiological signals (837 citations, h-index 15). He organized the International Conference on Affective Computing and Intelligent Interaction in 2013 (local chair) as well as workshops on affective brain computer interfaces, emotion awareness in computer mediated interaction and social biosignal adaptive games. He was a guest editor of the special issue on affective Brain Computer Interfaces (aBCI) of the BCI journal.
- Alexander Koening
BMW Group Research and Technology, Germany
Alexander Koenig is responsible for driver state management at BMW Group Research and Technology, Munich, Germany, where he oversees research activities of transferring psychophysiological signals to an automotive context. Previously, he obtained a PhD in engineering in 2011 from ETH Zurich, Switzerland, working on the application of psychophysiological measurements to improve motor learning in gait rehabilitation. From 2011 to 2013, his research at Harvard Medical School, Boston, USA, focused on the fundamentals of motor learning during gait. He co-authored over 30 journal and conference papers on psychophysiological computing, motor learning, and rehabilitation, published several book chapters on rehabilitation robotics and was guest editor of a special issue on the transfer of basic research to clinical applications in the Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation (JNER). He co-organized special sessions at IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology (EMBC) in 2011.
- Philippe Guillotel
Technicolor Research & Innovation, France
Philippe Guillotel obtained a M. Sc. in electrical engineering and information theory from the University of Rennes, France, in 1986, and a Dipl.-Ing. in electrical engineering, telecommunications, and computer science from the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Télécommunications, France, in 1988. He obtained a Ph. D. in signal processing and telecommunications from the University of Rennes, France, in 2012. He is a distinguished scientist at Technicolor Research & Innovation, France, where he is in charge of exploratory research for immersive user experiences. He has worked in the media and broadcast industry for more than 20 years at Thomson and Technicolor. His current work at Technicolor covers video processing, video delivery, human-machine interaction and augmented human perception. Additionally, he recently participated in a business initiative about measuring audiences' emotional reactions during movie watching. He has authored or co-authored 12 journal papers and 18 conference papers, three of them directly related to affective computing. In addition, he is inventor or co-inventor of more than 90 patents, around 10+ related to affective computing.
