Special Session on Intelligent Multimodal Perception and Cognitive Engineering

Research in cognitive intelligence provides fundamental understanding of how humans perceive, attend to, encode, and interpret information. Advances in artificial intelligence and multimodal sensing have emphasized the importance of embedding psychological and neuroscientific principles into intelligent system design.  This special session aims to bring together researchers from psychology, cognitive science, signal processing, artificial intelligence, and engineering to explore both foundational cognitive mechanisms and their translation into intelligent systems and applications. Contributions addressing theoretical modeling, experimental validation, multimodal signal processing, and system implementation are highly encouraged.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  • Human Cognition and Perception Modeling 
    Experimental and computational studies of perception, attention, memory, learning, and decision-making for intelligent system development.
  • Multimodal Signal Processing and Fusion
    Integration and analysis of neural, physiological, visual, auditory, and behavioral signals, including EEG, eye tracking, motion sensing, and biosignals.
  • Natural Language Processing and Cognitive AI
    Cognitive-inspired language models, conversational AI, and multimodal human–AI interaction.
  • Attention-Aware and Adaptive Interface Design
    Cognitive load estimation, intelligent UI/UX design, and adaptive information presentation based on perceptual and behavioral signals.
  • Human–Machine Interaction and Intelligent Systems
    Perception-driven interaction frameworks, wearable technologies, smart environments, and adaptive intelligent platforms.
  • Neuro-Information Processing
    Physiological signals for healthcare monitoring, cognitive assessment, and assistive technologies.
