Inbody Interactions

Organizers: Suranga Nanayakkara, Masahiko Inami, Kai Kunze, Elizabeth Churchill, Kanyu Chen, Danyang Peng, Prasanth Sasikumar, Yize Wei and Mia Huong Nguyen.

Abstract: An emerging paradigm in human-computer interaction addresses systems that bidirectionally sense and influence internal physiological states (cardiac rhythms, respiratory patterns, metabolic activity, and gastric function). Unlike traditional interfaces that respond to voluntary user actions, these interoceptive systems engage with signals users often cannot directly perceive or control, creating closed-loop interactions between computing systems and inbody states. Such systems can modulate autonomic responses, guide breathing patterns, or influence metabolic states through coordinated sensory stimulation, with applications ranging from stress management to emotion regulation. While recent research demonstrates technical feasibility across individual modalities (cardiac biofeedback through haptic stimulation, respiratory guidance through thermal cues, metabolic monitoring through continuous sensing) fundamental questions remain unaddressed: How do we design interaction paradigms for internal states? What computational frameworks enable real-time adaptation of interventions to individual physiological responses? How do we coordinate multiple organ systems within unified interaction architectures? What ethical boundaries govern systems that influence autonomic function? This workshop brings together researchers from human-computer interaction, affective computing, physiological psychology, biosignal processing, and ethics to develop systematic frameworks for interoceptive manipulation, map the design space for closed-loop internal state interfaces, establish ethical guidelines for bidirectional physiological computing, and examine applications in emotion regulation while preserving user agency and bodily autonomy.

Beyond Cognitive Offloading: Conversational AI for Personal Growth

Organizers: Dániel Szabó, Niels van Berkel, Benjamin Tag, Rune Møberg Jacobsen, Xinrui Fang, Zefan Sramek, Jorge Goncalves, Koji Yatani, Aku Visuri and Simo Hosio.

Abstract: Conversational AI now helps people perform a plethora of everyday tasks, especially online. Such cognitive offloading can enhance task performance, but does not always contribute to the development of the underlying human abilities. As a result, there are increasing concerns about the potential deleterious effects of overusing AI in one's work. This workshop explores a timely and positive framing: cognitive augmentation, where conversational AI can help people grow rather than just perform their tasks. We bring together a diverse set of researchers to work on how these systems might foster inherently human cognitive capabilities, such as meta-cognition, self-motivation, and emotional intelligence, without creating dependency.

First Workshop on International Circulation of Knowledge for Embodied Reconfigurability

Organizers: Masahiko Inami, Ken-tye Yong, Ganesh Gowrishankar, Jürgen Steimle, Andrea Bianchi, Steven Feiner, Aaron Steinfeld

Abstract: Human augmentation is shifting from add-on devices toward reconfigurable embodiment: systems that can reconstruct sensation, movement, and agency across physical and virtual bodies. Building on the international research initiative International Circulation of Knowledge for Embodied Reconfigurability, this workshop connects the Augmented Humans conference with neuroscience, AI, robotics, XR, and cognitive science to align terminology, evaluation practices, and collaboration pathways. A core technical focus is the Neuro-Adaptive Embodied Interface, which integrates neural/physiological sensing (e.g., EEG/EMG/EOG) with AI-driven inference and control to enable coordinated interaction among humans, between humans and AI, and between humans and augmented bodies. We will also discuss null-space activity: latent neural and physiological resources not typically used for innate control, and how such resources can become learnable control channels for supernumerary limbs and reconfigurable embodiments. The workshop is a three-hour panel-centered session combining short provocations, moderated discussion, and audience-driven roadmapping. Expected outcomes include an initial taxonomy of embodied reconfigurability, a draft set of evaluation indicators and experiment templates (performance, learning, agency/ownership, cognitive load, safety, social acceptability).

Time slot::9:30-12:30

Reimagining Human Augmentation through Disability-Led Performance

Organizers: Giulia Barbareschi, Ximing Shen, Ryoichi Ando, Mark Armstrong, Mauricio Sousa and Kouta Minamizawa.

Abstract: This workshop aims to engage participants in collectively imagining future Inclusive Augmented Performances inspired by the examples of the Brain Body Jockey project which features the collaboration of a DJ with ALS and a group of researchers leveraging human augmentation technologies to deliver radically different live music performances. The goal is for the workshop to function as a discussion and ideation platform that integrates technical, artistic, and social perspectives on the challenges and opportunities of inclusive human augmentation in the context of art and creative expression.
