Matthew Pike is a British researcher based in Nottingham University (UK and Ningbo) who is investigating the augmentation of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) by combining Neuroimaging techniques and modalities from the field of Brain-Computer Interaction (BCI). His research has recently been published at the CHI, the most prestigious conference in the field of HCI. 

Conference - CHI2016 in San Jose

Paper Title - #Scanners: Exploring the Control of Adaptive Films using Brain-Computer Interaction, Matthew Pike, Richard Ramchurn, Steve Benford and Max L. Wilson

Summary - This paper explores the design space of bio-responsive entertainment, in this case using a film that responds to the brain and blink data of users. A film was created with four parallel channels of footage, where blinking and levels of attention and meditation, as recorded by a commercially available EEG device, affected which footage participants saw. As a performance-led piece of research in the wild, this experience, named #Scanners, was presented at a week long national exhibition in the UK.
