Projektbeschreibung
Innovative Technologie zur Untersuchung der neurologisch-psychologischen Aktivität bei sozialen Interaktionen in Echtzeit
Soziale Interaktionen umfassen zwischenmenschliche koordinierte Bewegungen in Echtzeit. Da es jedoch an technologischen und analytischen Werkzeugen mangelt, lassen sich diese komplexen Prozesse nur schwer erforschen. Das EU-finanzierte Projekt EMBRACE wird die Arbeit von drei akademischen und drei industriellen Partnern koordinieren und so Technologien und Analysemethoden zur Untersuchung des gemeinsamen Handelns auf der neuronalen, kognitiv-verhaltensbezogenen und sozialen Ebene schaffen. Das Projekt wird neuartige mobile und drahtlose Trockenelektrodensysteme zur Überwachung der Hirnaktivität bei Ganzkörperbewegungen und Körpernetzwerk-Sensoren zur gleichzeitigen Aufzeichnung neuronaler, physiologischer und kinematischer Signale der interagierenden Personen entwickeln. Die Technologien und Analysemethoden werden in gemeinsamen Präsenzstudien validiert, wobei Prototypen und Modelle entstehen sollen, die für zahlreiche Anwendungsmöglichkeiten optimiert sind.
Ziel
Most social interactions involve interpersonal coordinated movements in real-time and real space, but research on the complex processes determining social behavior are limited by inadequate technology and analytical tools. In EMBRACE we will merge complementary expertise and resources in biomedical engineering, material science, signal processing, neuroscience and social psychology at 3 academic and 3 industrial partners from 3 EU countries to develop: 1) a new mobile and wireless dry electrode EEG system suitable for monitoring brain activity during full body movements; 2) novel body-network sensors and a multimodal alignment system for simultaneously recording neural, physiological and kinematic signals from two interacting subjects; 3) novel analytical solutions for motion artefact removal and multi-level analysis of multimodal data; 4) a new research dyadic paradigm to exploit the technological advances. The novel technologies will address requirements of mobility, high signal quality, high temporal and spatial resolution, stable alignment of multiple signals, wearing comfort and long-term use. The novel analytical methods will permit investigating joint action at the neural, cognitive-behavioural and social levels. Both technologies and methods will be validated in real time and space face-to-face studies to produce prototypes and models optimized for broad application. To achieve these objectives, the EMBRACE consortium realizes extensive intersectoral transfer of knowledge and experience through shared research, secondments and summer schools, promoting the research capacity and competitiveness of its partners and becoming a lasting EU network promoting basic and applied biomedical research, with benefit for European industries and society. International mobility and dissemination will contribute to sharing cultures and knowledge with the scientific community and to promote communication on the importance of research in biomedical engineering to the society.
