ABBA Summer School Seminar: Biosignal-Adaptive GenAI Systems

Background: In the ABBA Summer School Seminar hosted at the Karlsruhe Decision & Design Lab (KD²Lab) at KIT, we aim to enable students to explore biosignal sensors for designing user-adaptive systems. This comprehensive three-day program is designed for both bachelor's and master's students who want to gain an understanding of biosignal and the development of user-adaptive systems. The learning objective is to design human-centered biosignal-adaptive systems to address user needs in learning scenarios.​

Course Content: Throughout the summer school, students will learn the foundations of biosignal-adaptive systems through a series of lectures and apply the knowledge in practical group work. For the group work, we offer students two contexts for their research topics: literature research during thesis writing and programming with LLM. Aiming to address user challenges in these two contexts, we provide two biosignal sensors: EEG or eye-tracking sensors. By collecting biosignal data with the sensors, we encourage students to integrate cutting-edge AI algorithms for their design and implementation. In the end, students should present their results to showcase the functionality, innovation, and a prototype of their biosignal-adaptive systems. ​

Learning Outcome: By successfully achieving the learning objective, students will receive a certificate from KIT and will have the opportunity to apply their acquired skills and knowledge for further research.​

The seminar will be held in a three-day format from 23th to 25th September at KD²Lab (Etage 1, Fritz-Erler-Straße 1-3, 76131 Karlsruhe) with 3 ECTS.
