Gaël is joining us as a doctoral student from December 2022 to November 2025. He introduces his thesis topic:
During my dissertation, I will be working on the GENESIS project, which lies at the intersection of brain-computer interfaces and virtual reality. Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) allow users to interact with computer systems through their brain activity. Virtual reality (VR) is a technology that could benefit from BCIs, but it has not yet reached its full potential due to difficulties in characterizing users’ mental states during interaction and adapting virtual content accordingly. Users may experience cybersickness and disruptions in presence and immersion when using VR.
The GENESIS project aims to enhance VR immersion by using a BCI to assess users’ mental states in real time and adapt the virtual content accordingly. The project aims to study the neurophysiological markers associated with cybersickness and VR scene anomalies, using signal processing methods to classify these markers, and to provide mechanisms for adapting virtual content to estimated mental states.
