The Perceptual Crossing Device (PCD) introduced in this report is an updated tool designed to facilitate the exploration of brain activity during human interaction with seamless real time integration with EEG equipment. It incorporates haptic and auditory feedback mechanisms, enabling interactions between two users within a virtual environment. Through a unique circular motion interface that enables intuitive virtual interactions, users can experience the presence of their counterpart via tactile or auditory cues. This paper highlights the key characteristics of the PCD, aiming to validate its efficacy in augmenting the understanding of human interactions. Furthermore, by offering an accessible and intuitive interface, the PCD stands to foster greater community engagement in the realm of embodied cognitive science and human interaction studies. Through this device, we anticipate a deeper comprehension of the complex neural dynamics underlying human interaction, thereby contributing a valuable resource to both the scientific community and the broader public.
本报告介绍的感知交叉设备(PCD)是一种经过更新的工具,旨在促进人类与 EEG 设备进行无缝实时交互时大脑活动的研究。它结合了触觉和听觉反馈机制,能够在虚拟环境中实现两个用户之间的交互。通过独特的圆形运动界面,用户可以通过触觉或听觉提示直观地体验到对方的存在,从而实现虚拟交互。本文重点介绍了 PCD 的关键特点,旨在验证其在增强人类交互理解方面的功效。此外,通过提供易于访问和直观的界面,PCD 有望促进更大的社区参与到体现认知科学和人类交互研究领域中。通过该设备,我们预计可以更深入地了解人类交互背后复杂的神经动态,从而为科学界和更广泛的公众提供有价值的资源。
