Adhering to the idea that the fundamental criterion for the design of interactive experiences rests in the mind of the human consumer, this workshop aims to advance research in cognitive-focused artificial intelligence in the context of interactive digital entertainment. The workshop focuses on the study of intelligent interactive entertainment from the lens of cognition. It will bring together scholars from diverse disciplines to discuss how cognition can be used as a framework for informing the design of artifacts intended to elicit specific cognitive, affective, and physiological responses.
