The DFG Research Training Group (RTG) KD²School will receive funding for another five years.  In this RTG, KIT is collaborating with the Universities of Bremen and of Oldenburg to research the design of biosignal-adaptive systems for decision-making processes in economic contexts as well as in private and professional life. The RTG’s spokespersonship is anchored at the Institute for Information Systems (WIN), with Prof. Dr. Christof Weinhardt leading the first funding period and Prof. Dr. Alexander Mädche assuming responsibility for the second. In the second period, a stronger focus will be placed on the design of biosignal-adaptive systems. “Biosignals open up new ways of understanding decision-making processes in a context-sensitive manner and designing adaptive systems in a human-centered way. We achieve this through a consistently interdisciplinary approach combining psychology, neuroscience, economics, information systems, and computer science – which also enables young researchers to gain excellent qualifications,” Professor Mädche from KIT’s Institute for Information Systems explains.
