SCAN iHub Spatial Computing and Neurotechnology Innovation Hub @ Ulster University

The Spatial Computing and Neurotechnology Innovation hub (SCAN iHub) integrates our neurotechnology R&D with the latest development in human machine interaction and contains the latest technologies associated with these two computing areas enabling cutting edge research.

It also enables new demonstrators for how this technology is utilised for training, large scale simulation, and immersive analytics.

SCAN iHub houses multiple technologies for electrophysiological monitoring (multiple mobile wearable EEG headsets 1x64 channel and 2 x 32 channels EEG devices, a functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) brain imaging headset, ECG, HRV, pulse oximeter, GSR, and technologies for spatial computing including text, voice, gesture, augmented reality/virtual reality (AR/VR), an advanced car/flight simulator and vibrotactile stimulation suits, ultrasonic haptic interfaces and technologies that enable walking in a virtual environments (virtual treadmills) as well as a state-of-the-art Smartglass façade to adapt the room for various experimental situations and public engagement activities.

SCAN iHub research focuses on developing capacity in “post-mobile” behaviours and modalities (e.g., text, voice, gesture, Augmented Reality/Virtual reality (AR/VR), and new contexts for computing (e.g., wearable and technology everywhere) with a unique focus on wearable electrophysiology and neurotechnology integration with the latest spatial computing technology.
