The Balladeer project gathers momentum in July to carry out the second session of tests on the participating children During these last weeks of July, we have been receiving participants to carry out the second session of the #Balladeer project experiment. Emotiv EEG helmet used in the Balladeer project The #tests of the experiment carried out for the Balladeer project are divided into 2 sessions for each of the participating children. Thus, in the first session, participants undergo the #CogniFit test, a series of cognitive experiences carried out digitally and supervised by the psychologists who are part of the project. On the other hand, in the second session, three different tests are carried out: the #robots video game, the #slackline video game and the #Nesplora test. In the #robots video game, carried out on a desk, the children have to select the maximum number of correct figures as indicated from among different figures arranged in a grid. In the slackline game, the second of the desk-based tests, the…

The Balladeer project continues to make progress thanks to the 67 children who have visited us in recent months Lucentia's #Balladeer project, which aims to diagnose and treat Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (#ADHD), has reached a significant milestone by successfully completing 67 tests with children between 6 and 18 years old through its dedicated #laboratory. It was during the last week that the 60 tests were passed. In fact, it is expected that by the end of this month 70 #children and #adolescents will have passed through our laboratory located at the University Institute for Research in Computer Science (IUII) of the University of Alicante. Balladeer focuses on laying the foundations for future interventions in person-centred #intelligent #extendedreality #intelligent #environments. Its main focus lies in the study of brain activity and its evolution, using a platform that combines #BigData and #ArtificialIntelligence (AI) analysis. During the tests, participating children are subjected to a series of activities designed in the format of #videogames to assess their cognitive and emotional performance. Using…

Several Lucentia research colleagues have recently published two articles within the framework of the BALLADEER and AETHER-UA projects Lucentia researchers have just had two publications published in June and July. Both articles, although different from each other, are part of the Balladeer and Aether-UA projects. The first paper, entitled "A Data-Driven Methodology for Guiding the Selection of Preprocessing Techniques in a Machine Learning Pipeline", was presented at the 35th International Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering. In this #paper, Jorge García, Alejandro Maté and Juan Carlos Trujillo, propose a novel #methodology for improving the selection of #preprocessing techniques, both from the point of view of the #MachineLearning model and the characteristics of the data. The second article, entitled "Feature engineering of EEG applied to mental disorders: a systematic mapping study", has been published in the scientific journal Applied Intelligence. The authors, Sandra García, Jorge García, Miguel Ángel Teruel, Alejandro Maté and Juan Carlos Trujillo, through the review and analysis of more than 900 articles, present a #SystematicMappingStudy (SMS) focused…

This project has been funded by the Department of Innovation, Universities, Science and Digital Society of the Generalitat Valenciana in the call for competitive concurrence PROMETEO to Research Groups of Excellence. The experience of the Principal Investigators (PIs), here the Professor of Languages and Computer Systems of the University of Alicante Juan Carlos Trujillo Mondéjar co-led by the Professor of Health Psychology Rosario Ferrer Cascales, and the applicant Research Group, as well as the quality of the Research Project are valued. Both the Lucentia Group and the Applied Health Psychology and Human Behaviour Group are among the most internationally renowned research groups in their respective research topics. Members who will participate in the Balladeer Project The project is based on three novel technological aspects. First, a series of video games will measure the level of attention using eye-tracking techniques, encephalography or electrodermal conductivity measurement. The technologies used will be the latest in Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality, "thus carrying out therapies in a fun and entertaining way in order…
