interaction, neurophysiological data,

<br>
<b>Overview</b><br>
</span>There is a longstanding tradition of
research on the relationships between language,
cognition and the human brain. Until recently,
however, investigations in this domain were
limited to studying language production or
comprehension in talkers individually exposed to
highly controlled linguistic material. Over the
last few years, major advances have been
simultaneously accomplished in language sciences,
computer sciences (and more precisely human-agent
interaction), cognitive sciences and
neurosciences, which have brought us on the verge
of a new research paradigm. These advances now
make it possible to explore language and the brain
in the context in which they both primarily
develop, i.e. social interactions. A better
understanding of the brain correlates of humans'
interaction with natural and artificial agents, in
particular their commonalities and differences,
will enable the IVA community to explore different
questions such as objective evaluation methods of
the interaction, real-time detection of brain
activity, automatic adaptation of the virtual
agent’s behavior based on user’s cerebral
activity, etc. <br>
<br>
The objective of the workshop is to gather
research studies on the cerebral activity related
to interaction. We do not limit the workshop
topic to human-virtual agent interaction,
considering also works on human-human interaction
that could be relevant to a better understanding
of user’s experience during an interaction with a
virtual agent: <br>

In order to encourage exchanges between
participants, the workshop will consist in
a general poster session, plus an invited
speaker and a discussion panel, aiming at
a synthesis of the different research
studies, and discussions focusing on the
