While reviewing for #CHI2026, I've noticed four new writing issues in #HCI papers, likely due to an increased use of #LLMs / #AI. I describe them here - and how to fix them: dbuschek.medium.com/when-llms-wr...

Being an AC for #chi2026 has been interesting so far. I’m senior reviewer for 7 papers and reviewer for 6.
- 4 assisted desk rejects (ADR)
- 2 more should have been ADR
- only 1 useless ChatGPT review.
- 5 reviews where text doesn’t justify the recommendation clearly (that I asked them to fix)

If you are in the process of designing a #fNIRS study to investigate cognition and want a list of dos and don'ts, have a look at our primer. Pre-print available here: osf.io/preprints/ps...

It’s possible my slack is getting an AI upgrade. But I’m not totally sure. I think possibly 25 more email confirmations would help.

Interestingly I flew east across Europe and Asia to #chi2025 and also east over Canada Greenland to come back to England. I don’t think I’ve ever done that before.

And now… #chi2026 will be in Barcelona! Nuria and Ayman will be the general chairs. CHI2026 will be the start of a massivley shaken up new way that CHI will create more space for engagement chi2026.acm.org - including a new student mentoring programme to support more students in the future.

The #chi2025 closing keynote: Masako Wakamiya - who built her first iPhone app at the age of 81. She is reflecting on the way that technology played a role in society for older women in Japanese society: eg Microsoft excel being used for art and creativity in the 1990s. Design for 100 years of life.

Next is palatetouch for interacting with ear buds with your tongue - they’ve determined how to track tongue position from pressure changes in the ear canal. #chi2025

Next up Michael Knierim (KIT) is presenting our paper on detecting flow, in the wild, using EEG headphones. Participants wore a ring of EEG around the ear for a whole day. #chi2025

Next up is BallistoBud: heart rate variability detection (for physiological stress) from earbuds using ballistocardiography (BCG) rather than ECG - they reached similar accuracy but with much lower battery cost etc. #chi2025 dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/...

At the #chi2025 SIGCHI Panel on the future of our conferences given a changing landscape and the influence of eg ACM Open, where all ACM papers will be completely open access. But at higher author fees.
