Developing a communication environment by decoding and controlling implicit interpersonal information

Research Project Outline

Smooth and effective interpersonal communication depends strongly on implicit, non-symbolic information that emerges from the interaction between partners (Implicit InterPersonal Information, IIPI). Our goal is to develop new methods to improve the quality of communication by (1) decoding IIPI from brain activities, physiological responses and body movements, and (2) controlling IIPI by sensorimotor stimulation and non-invasive brain stimulation.
