*_Keywords:_* cerebral activities in human-human and human-machine 
interaction, neurophysiological data, brain-computer interfaces, virtual 
agents.

*Overview*
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.

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:

  * Cerebral underpinnings of interactions (human-machine, human-human
    and human-environment)
  * Cerebral underpinning of interactions with artificial agents
    (robots, virtual agents) in different environment: virtual reality,
    mixed reality, augmented reality, etc.
  * EEG, fMRI, MEG for studying interaction with virtual agents
  * Brain computer interfaces for interaction with virtual agents
  * EEG in virtual reality
  * New methods for investigating interaction in ecological context/
    /
  * ...

*Program*
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 perspectives of the domain.


*Submission*
Participants are invited to submit short papers (2 pages, excluding 
references) describing either research works or ongoing projects work 
related to the topics of the workshop. Paper format details can be found 
at https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template/

Papers should be submitted via the EasyChair system at 
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=brainhva2019. At least one 
author of each accepted paper will be required to attend the workshop to 
present their work.
