The Galvactivator: A glove that senses and communicates skin conductivity
The galvactivator is a glove-like wearable device that senses the wearer's skin conductivity and maps its values to a bright LED display, making the skin conductivity level visible. Increases in skin conductivity tend to be good indicators of physiological arousal --causing the galvactivator display to glow brightly. The new form factor of this sensor frees the wearer from the traditional requi...
متن کاملMerging of the Senses
When we are constantly and simultaneously bombarded with various types of sensory inputs, how do we make decisions or motor outputs to deal with the world in a meaningful manner?

This volume is about the many ways we perceive. Contributors explore the nature of the individual senses, how and what they tell us about the world, and how they interrelate. They often represent competing views: for instance, some argue that perception uses the senses in concert, while others are content, at least for present purposes, to leave unchallenged the traditional assumption that we p...
متن کاملThe kinaesthetic senses.
This review of kinaesthesia, the senses of limb position and limb movement, has been prompted by recent new observations on the role of motor commands in position sense. They make it necessary to reassess the present-day views of the underlying neural mechanisms. Peripheral receptors which contribute to kinaesthesia are muscle spindles and skin stretch receptors. Joint receptors do not appear t...
متن کاملFood and the Senses
This review makes the case for anthropological reflection on the intersection of food and the senses. Given that a focus on food and the senses allows us to explore some of the most basic boundaries of inside and outside, private and public, individual and collective, this topic offers an excellent window onto that elusive notion of everyday life that anthropologists wish to understand theoreti...
