Within the domain of Human Machine Interaction is a domain focused on the direct measurement of brain signals, namely the area of cognitive research. One can think of studies that involve stress and the use of new products or designs or the measurement of brain activity to monitor learning or task performance. Quite often this therefore involves physiological measurements ranging from heart-rate to skin conductance (stress) and EEG (Electroencephalography) recordings.
In popular culture the measurement of brain waves is often depicted as highly advanced and bordering on mind reading. While incredibly useful, it has not …
The use of physiological measurements allows researchers with an interest in cognition to get objective data on how participants experience their interaction with technology. Some …
