We evaluated PICoS in a pilot study with children with different cognitive profiles, using two Go/No-Go-style activities focused on attention, turn-taking and response withholding. The study was designed to assess technical feasibility and acceptability.

The results are encouraging:4/5 participants selected the highest enjoyment rating, and all 5 said they would like to use the system again. There is still much to explore,especially with larger and longitudinal studies. #VirtualReality #ArtificialIntelligence #GaussianSplatting

Our experiments show that many current detection models experience a significant performance drop on FFA, especially when analyzed across demographic subgroups. This highlights the need for benchmarks that evaluate not only accuracy, but also generalization and fairness.
