With the advancement of AI-powered personal voice assistants, speaker authentication via earbuds has become increasingly vital, serving as a critical interface between users and mobile devices. However, existing audio-based speaker authentication methods ...

Over the past several years, a growing body of literature has proposed systems that use earable-based acoustic sensing to assess cardiac function. These works have offered various explanations of how in-ear cardiac audio is produced. Most claim that the ...

The pleasure that often comes with eating can be further enhanced with intelligent technology, as the field of human-food interaction suggests. However, knowledge on how to design such pleasure-supporting eating systems is limited. To begin filling this ...

Due to the proliferation of smart wearables, it is now the case that designers can explore novel ways that devices can be used in combination by end-users. In this paper, we explore the gestural input enabled by the combination of smart earbuds coupled ...

Breathing exercises reduce stress and improve overall mental well-being. There are various types of breathing exercises. Performing the exercises correctly may give the best outcome and doing it in wrong ways can sometimes have adverse effect. Providing ...

By adding sensing capabilities to ear-worn devices, earables have emerged as a new platform. The ears are located closely to a number of important anatomical structures (e.g., brain, blood vessels). Also, the ear canal deforms upon facial movements and ...

Earables have emerged as a unique platform for ubiquitous computing by augmenting ear-worn devices with state-of-the-art sensing. This new platform has spurred a wealth of new research exploring what can be detected on a wearable, small form factor. As a ...
