- Additional information
- This well cited research won the Best Paper Award at the top conference for information retrieval. Stemming from a collaboration between computer and brain scientists, it was the first work to show real-world manifestations of Information Needs (INs), pinpointing the exact brain location where INs are formed. Reviewers called it "a seminal work" and "ahead of its time". This research has served as the basis for several interdisciplinary works in INs, including the paper by the same authors at WWW 2019 on predicting INs using brain signals.
