Advances in Physiological Computing [Paperback]

This edited collection will provide an overview of the field of physiological computing, i.e. the use of physiological signals as input for computer control. It will cover a breadth of current research, from brain-computer interfaces to telemedicine.Introduction.- Meaningful Interaction with Physiological Computing.- Engineering Issues in Physiological Computing.- Eye Tracking and Eye-Based Human-Computer Interaction.- Towards BCI-based Implicit Control in HCI.- Bio cybernetic Adaptation as Biofeedback Training.- Using fNIRS to Measure Mental Workload in the Real World.- Psychophysiological Feedback for Adaptive HRI.- The Drive to Explore.- The Vitality Bracelet.- Capturing HDM for Assisted Memory Recall.

In?the domain of physiological computing,?human physiology is directly monitored and?used as?input?to a?technological system. Signals from the brain and body can be used to infer a users intentions and psychological state which enables a physiological computing system?to?respond and adapt?in an appropriate fashion.? A computer game could modify its level of difficulty according to the player's motivation or a word processor could disable incoming e-mail notifications when the user is concentrating.

Physiological computing is an exciting area of research which provides a speculative vision of how we may interact with technology in the future. The field is inherently interdisciplinary and encapsulates a significant breadth of knowledge from neuroscience to engineering. Advances in Physiological Computing?provides a broad overview across this emerging area of research and emphasizes?the common ground between the different disciplines in the field.?
