“…O estudo de [Mercado et al 2018] analisou a usabilidade, a experiência de usuário e o nível de atenção sustentada ao utilizar um jogo para treinamento com neurofeedback com 12 crianças com TEA (Transtorno do Espectro Autista) e TDAH comórbida. O estudo aplicou 2 sessões para cada voluntário, onde foi possível observar questões de acessibilidade, além de aumentar o tempo de atenção sustentada dos voluntários durante o jogo.…”

Este artigo apresenta uma revisão sistemática sobre a utilização de Serious Games e Neurofeedback como mecanismo de apoio para o tratamento de indivíduos com Transtorno de Déficit de Atenção e Hiperatividade (TDAH). A revisão busca apresentar os resultados metodologicamente mais fortes dessa área e verificar se essa alternativa é acessível, aplicável e eficaz. Desse modo, são descritas e analisadas as soluções propostas, apontando as características significativas e as limitações desses estudos. Os resultados demonstraram ogrande potencial que essa tecnologia possui como um instrumento de acompanhamento e engajamento, além de fornecer um método confiável e acessível para o aperfeiçoamento cognitivo, sendo uma grande aliada para o desenvolvimento social e acadêmico de indivíduos com TDAH.

Towards an automatic coding of observational studies: Coding neurofeedback therapies of children with autism

The coding of observational data is commonly used to analyse and evaluate human behaviours. The technique can help researchers inform the design and impact of, for example, an Ubicomp system by studying specific behaviours of interest. There are some tools that can alleviate the burden of observational coding, like those that help to collect and organise data, but can still be error-prone and time-consuming. Moreover, most of these tools lack automation, requiring intense human interaction. In order to mitigate these issues, computer vision (CV) and machine learning (ML) techniques could be used to automate observational coding, but little work has focused on analysing the feasibility of such an approach, with the goal of reducing the total coding time while maintaining accuracy. In this work, we address this question by proposing an automated approach for a real-world case study and compare it to manual coding. The study is composed of 10 videos with an average duration of 17 min each, where the goal is to determine the attention of children with autism that participate in a neurofeedback therapy session. Each video was hand-coded by three human observers to define the ground truth and to measure the manual coding time. Results show that it is feasible to automate the coding of observational behaviours and obtain a noticeable reduction in coding time, but with a slight loss in accuracy. Moreover, we illustrate that the best solution would be a hybrid approach, using a semi-automated system that combines human expertise and

“…The scope of the next paper with title "Developing and evaluating a BCI video game for Neurofeedback Training: The case of Autism" [9] is definitely much narrower and more precise. Its aim is to test the efficacy of a Brain Computer Interface (BCI) game as a mean to foster neurofeedback training in autistic children.…”

Extended author information available on the last page of the article by augmented interaction. Moreover, strategies for effective communications/conversations have also been analyzed from two perspectives: how to help people learn culturally-based communication protocols, and how to teach children managing group conversations through effective turn-taking. Another area that has been covered is related to the needs of people with cognitive disabilities, focusing on how to enhance the accessibility of web pages for people affected by dyslexia, and how to better support cognitive training of people with Alzheimer Disease.The second part of this Special Issue is devoted to an exciting research topic that so far has not received the interest it deserves. Video games design is an intriguing and quite complex field, since it melts together results and findings deriving from many, widely different, disciplines, e.g., computer science, physics, music, visual art, industrial design, project management, marketing, mathematics, literature, anthropology, social sciences, medicine, storytelling, psychology and economy. A "melting pot" that emerges as especially suited to deal with new, emerging technologies, and which challenges both the academy and the industry: virtual and augmented reality, tangible interfaces, sensors, biometry, etc. Actually, these innovations can be exploited to figure out new game mechanics, and can influence all those aspects related to the interaction paradigms with the users and the related user experience. The latter holds both for games produced for pure entertainment, and for those which, instead, aim at addressing education, teaching or even more delicate fields such as rehabilitation. In many cases, the lack of a solid theoretical ground hinders the production of key guidelines and good practices directly deployable in the companies. Hence, the authors of the papers presented in the second part of this Special Issue have been invited to contribute in the advancement of the video game design field, by submitting works focusing on the complete spectrum of the computer science areas affecting the interaction patterns in the dyad human beingvideo game. In particular, a subset of the papers presented in the "game section" of this Special Issue are the revised and extended versions of selected papers presented at the 1st Workshop on Games-Human Interaction (GHItaly 17), held in conjunction with CHItaly 2017. The aim of the workshop has been both to bring together scholars belonging to very different disciplinary areas and establish a common ground on the topic of video game design, and to propose a meeting venue for researchers in a field still too underestimated, especially in Italy.The six papers in the first section of the Special Issue are shortly presented in the following.Hand gesture is still one of the most efficient and natural ways for human communication and, as a result, hand gesture recognition is becoming increasingly important.
