Our IISM team members Michael Knierim, Thimo Schultz, Benjamin Gaube and Fabio Stano just visited the Mensch und Computer 2024 conference in Karlsruhe. Michael offered a tech demo of his most recent ExG Headphone prototype, while Thimo showed two research projects in the poster session and Benjamin discussed his research plans at a workshop on AI and Health. We especially congratulate Helen Vedder for winning the 2nd place in the student research competition for her bachelor thesis project “Classification of Music Preferences Using EEG Data in Machine Learning Models”, supervised by Fabio Stano. The conference offered an amazing platform to engage with fellow researchers, get a glimpse into the latest work in the field of Human Computer Interactions and discuss our own projects.
