ErrPs have been used lately in order to improve several existing BCI applications. In our study we investigate the contribution of ErrPs in a SSVEP based BCI. An extensive study is presented in order to discover the limitations of the proposed scheme. Using Common Spatial Patterns and Random Forests we manage to show encouraging results regarding the incorporation of ErrPs in a SSVEP system. Finally, we provide a novel methodology (ICRT) that can measure the gain of a BCI system by incorporating ErrPs in terms of time efficiency.

In recent years, eye tracking systems have greatly improved, beginning to play a promising role as an input medium. Eye trackers can be used for application control either by simply emulating the mouse device in the traditional graphical user interface, or by customized interfaces for eye gaze events. In this work we evaluate these two approaches to assess their impact in usability. We present a gaze-adapted Twitter application interface with direct interaction of eye gaze input, and compare it to the Twitter in a conventional browser interface with gaze-based mouse and keyboard emulation.

Smart homes are no longer design concepts of the future. They are being built now, and they are having a direct impact on the lifestyles of people living in them. The aim of smart home systems is to create an environment that is aware of the activities taking place within it. Beside the healthy people, disabled people also need such systems to make their life easier, because they encounter with a lot of difficulties in their everyday life especially when they are at home.

"Recognizing the occupants’ movement and locations within a home is a basic functionality, underlying a variety of smart-home services, including energy management, ambient environment control, and assistive-living services for seniors and people with disabilities. The outdoor-localization variant of the problem is effectively addressed with the use of GPS; however, GPS does not work well inside buildings, which makes the indoor positioning problem a very active research topic.

"Social consumer robots are slowly but strongly invading our everyday lives as their prices are becoming lower and lower, constituting them affordable for a wide range of civilians. There has been a lot of research concerning the potential applications of social robots, some of which may implement companionship or proxying technology-related tasks and assisting in everyday household endeavors, among others.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women both in developed and developing countries. More than half of all cancer mobile application concern breast cancer. Gamification is widely used in mobile software applications created for health-related services. Current prevalence of gamification in breast cancer apps is unknown and detection must be manually performed. The purpose of this study is to describe and produce a tool allowing automatic detection of apps which contain gamification elements and thus empowering researchers to study gamification using large data samples.

In clinical practice, a misdiagnosis can lead to incorrect treatment, delayed treatment, or in some cases, no treatment at all; consequently, the condition of a patient may worsen to varying degrees, in some cases proving fatal. The accurate 3D reconstruction of organs, which is a pioneering tool of medical image computing (MIC) technology, plays a key role in computer aided diagnosis (CADx), whereby enabling medical professionals to perform enhanced analysis on a region of interest.

Sleep and physical activity are human behaviors that play a major role in our health. Poor sleep or lack of physical activity have been found to increase health risks and reduce quality of life. The rapid adoption and evolution of pervasive computing systems, both in the health and wellness domain, are creating a new data-intensive context in which we can learn about the sleep and physical activity patterns of individuals. In this paper we provide an overview of the toolkit we have developed to conduct research on personal health data about sleep and physical activity.

Cancer is one of the most prevalent diseases in Europe and the world. Significant correlations between dietary habits and cancer incidence and mortality have been confirmed by the literature. Physical activity habits are also directly implicated in the incidence of cancer. Lifestyle behaviour change may be benefited by using mobile technology to deliver health behaviour interventions. M-Health offers a promising cost-efficient approach to deliver en-masse interventions.
