We’re back with our Workshop on Artificial Intelligence for Human-Machine Interaction (AIxHMI 2024) at the 23^rd International Conference of the Italian Association for Artificial Intelligence (AIxIA 2024)!

This year we will move to Bolzano (Italy) from November 25 to November 28, 2024.

Dr. Aurora Saibene is co-chairing the AIxHMI Workshop with Prof. Silvia Corchs (@dista, uninsubria), Dr. Simone Fontana (@school of law, unimib), and Prof. Jordi Solé-Casals (@dept. of engineering, uvic).
The main aim of the workshop is to connect researchers and practitioners from different fields to collect multidisciplinary contributions on topics concerning HMI and especially on the influence that AI has in the interaction between humans and machines.

You can contribute to the workshop by sending your regular or short papers before September 14, 2024.

See you in Bolzano!

From November 6th to 9th, 2023 the MMSP group was at the 22nd International Conference of the Italian Association for Artificial Intelligence held in Rome with two workshops and numerous presentations!

The Workshop on Artificial Intelligence for Human-Machine Interaction chaired by Aurora Saibene with Silvia Corchs, Simone Fontana and Jordi Solé-Casals opened the MMSP roman week.
Six multi-disciplinary presentations were delivered and the three Invited Speakers Stefano Mazzoleni, Léa Pillette and Francesco Ferrise provided insights on the topics of neurorehabilitation, brain-computer interfacing and virtual reality.

On November 8th, Davide Chicco presented the work done in the cotext of the Age-It PNRR project in collaboration with Francesca Gasparini at the Workshop on Artificial Intelligence for Healthcare, receiving numerous questions and feedback from the audience.

Last but not least, Francesca Gasparini organized with Francesca Fracasso and Frida Millella the Workshop on Artificial Intelligence for an Ageing Society chaired by Stefania Bandini, Luigia Carlucci Aiello and Gabriella Cortellessa.
The workshop received 11 papers and Marco Alberti delivered an interesting Invited Talk on the potential that AI has when dealing with the monitoring and support of caregivers.

Among the presenters our students and collaborators Giorgio Fratti, Lorenzo Olearo, and Patrizia Ribino presented works in the context of the Ampel and Age-It project, taking the interest of all the audience.

The week passed in a wink and we are very happy to have experienced such an amazing conference, meeting loads of people interested in AI and all its applications in different fields.

See you in Bolzano next year!

Slobodan Tanackovic, Sales Manager at g.tec medical engineering GmbH, will hold a workshop on Brain-Computer Interfaces at the Department of Informatics, Systems and Communication of the University of Milano-Bicocca.

The event will take place on June 5th, 2023, starting from 9:00 AM in the Seminar Room at the first floor of Building U14 (Viale Sarca, 336 – 20126 – MI, Italy), according to this program:

• Presentation of BCI basics.
• Motor imagery task using recoveriX system.
• Attention task using Unicorn Speller.
• Code based EP using Unicorn Maze.
• HISYS Simulink modelling for BCI applications.
• State of the Art BCIs: invasive and ultra-high resolution techniques.

Participants will be involved during practical activities.

Please, fill in the following form to provide information on your participation to the event and notify the Organizers in case you will not be able to attend after having provided your positive answer: https://forms.gle/KxTso59J6xbFFQvL7

Notice that the form accepts answers from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM on weekdays and it will not be available after the maximum number of seats is reached.

For detailed information, please refer to Doctor Aurora Saibene (aurora.saibene@unimib.it) and to Professor Francesca Gasparini (francesca.gasparini@unimib.it).

Starting from November 28, 2022, the MMSP group will be present at the 21st International Conference of the Italian Association for Artificial Intelligence (https://aixia2022.uniud.it/) with two workshops:

• The 3rd Italian Workshop on Artificial Intelligence for an Ageing Society (AIxAS 2022)
• The 1st Italian Workshop on Artificial Intelligence for Human Machine Interaction (AIxHMI 2022)

AIxAS 2022 sees Professor Francesca Gasparini as Chair with Doctor Filippo Palumbo of the CNR-ISTI of Pisa and Doctor Francesca Fracasso of the CNR-ISTI of Rome.
The aim of this workshop is to promote active and healthy ageing, which involve prolonging independent living, ageing well and maintaining social inclusion, by considering the pivotal role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on assitive technologies and smart environments that could support and help older adults.

You can contribute to the workshop by submitting ideas, position, short or regular papers until September 30, 2022.

AIxHMI 2022 sees Doctor Aurora Saibene as Chair with Professor Silvia Corchs of the University of Insubria and Professor Jordi Solé-Casals of the Universitat de Vic – Universitat Central de Catalunya.
The aim of this workshop is to investigate the role that AI plays within new scenarios that suffer from noise, are strongly human-centered and often require severe constraints in terms of computational costs and real-time processing, that are especially brought by new wearable devices and sensing technologies employed in the field of human-machine interaction.

You can contribute to the workshop by submitting ideas, position, short or regular papers until September 30, 2022.

See you in Udine!

Italian Workshop on Artificial Intelligence for an Ageing Society

On November 29, 2021, the MMSP group has partecipated to the 10th Workshop on Artificial Intelligence for an Ageing Society co-located with the AIxIA 2021 conference.

Professor Francesca Gasparini served as one of the Workshop Chairs, besides being a very active part of the whole conference organization and co-author of the MMSP presented works.

Alessandra Grossi, Aurora Saibene, and Marta Giltri made their presentations on age classification based on physiological signals, novel EEG-based BCIs for elderly rehabilitation, and affectivity and proxemic distances, considering also an agent based modeling approach.

Stay tuned to get the links to the recorded sessions of our talks!

International Workshop on the risks and challenges of neurotechnologies for human rights

On November 23 and 24, 2021, Professor Francesca Gasparini and I have partecipated as invited speakers to the International Workshop on the risks and challenges of neurotechnologies for human rights with a work entitled BCIs and wearables: reliability, ethics and security from a computer scientist to a multi-disciplinary point of view.

If you have lost the workshop, you can watch the recorded sessions at

After two days of intensive discussions we have come to the conclusion that ethical issues arising from the use of neurotechnologies require the attention of a multidisciplinary community and thus we thank the organizers, Doctor Marta Maria Sosa Navarro, Doctor Salvador Dura-Bernal and Doctor Carla Maria Gulotta, for having provided such a great occasion to exchange ideas with researchers from very differnt domains.

Looking forward to new opportunities to discuss these topics!

Joint lab meeting with the Data and Signal Processing research group!

We are very happy to have been able to organize the joint lab meeting with the Data and Signal Processing research group of the Universitat De Vic.
We really enjoyed all the presentations and we have been able to discuss about many research fields.

Looking forward to have a new joint meeting in the near future!

Thanks to Aurora Saibene, Pere Martí Puig, Marta Giltri, Francesca Gasparini, Jordi Solé-Casals, Alessandra Grossi, Chiara Capra and Alejandro Blanco for the great day!
