Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This is volume II of our Special Issue, the primary objective of which is to present the most current advancements in the analysis of biomedical data and the exploration of these methods’ potential in human–computer interaction. This Special Issue will cover the latest techniques applied for various types of biomedical data processing, such as real and model-based biosignals analysis, data integration, and medical decision-making support, among others. It will also focus on the most current sensing technologies applied for biosignals acquisition. Analysis of biomedical data spans a broad spectrum of intriguing topics, and this Special Issue aims to comprehensively address most of them.

The submitted papers should cover the following areas:

  1. Analysis of biomedical data;
  2. Industry 4.0/Industry 5.0;
  3. Smart homes/cities;
  4. Brain–computer interfaces;
  5. Human–machine/computer interaction;
  6. Graphomotorics;
  7. Neurodegenerative disorders—diagnostics support;
  8. Movement disorders;
  9. Virtual reality;
  10. Sensors—modern sensing technologies;
  11. Internet of Things;
  12. Biocybernetics.

Other topics could be also taken into account for publication. We also welcome concept and review papers.

This study presents the results of an experiment designed to investigate whether marketing videos containing mixed emotional content can sustain consumers interest longer compared to videos conveying a consistent emotional message. During the experiment, thirteen participants, wearing EEG (electroencephalographic) caps, were exposed to eight marketing videos with diverse emotional tones. Participant engagement was measured with an engagement index, a metric derived from the power of brain activity recorded over the frontal and parietal cortex and computed within three distinct frequency bands: theta (4–8 Hz), alpha (8–13 Hz), and beta (13–30 Hz). The outcomes indicated a statistically significant influence of emotional content type (mixed vs. consistent) on the duration of user engagement. Videos containing a mixed emotional message were notably more effective in sustaining user engagement, whereas the engagement level for videos with a consistent emotional message declined over time. The principal inference drawn from the study is that advertising materials conveying a consistent emotional message should be notably briefer than those featuring a mixed emotional message to achieve an equivalent level of message effectiveness, measured through engagement duration.
