VIP DONORS LOUNGE
EY experience: Human - GenAI interaction (Neuro test)
As GenAI platforms and chat-bots become an integral part of our daily lives, from virtual assistants to advanced advisory systems, understanding how humans emotionally and cognitively respond to these digital interactions is increasingly important. In the VIP & Donors Lounge, participants are invited to engage in a short conversation with an AI agent on any topic of their interest, while their brain activity and eye behavior are simultaneously recorded. This setup will allow for the measurement of the participant’s implicit and non-conscious brain processing and attitude towards the conversation.
