Physiologic Instrumentation for Real-time Monitoring of Affective State of Computer Users
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper outlines the development and hardware software integration of an instrumental setup designed towards the real-time assessment of the affective status of a computer user. This assessment is based on the measurement and digital signal analysis of three physiological variables that reflect dynamic changes of the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS): Blood Volume Pulse (BVP) measured with an infrared finger photoplethysmograph (PPG), Galvanic Skin Resistance (GSR) and the Pupil Diameter (PD). Real-time assessment of the affective status of a subject is an essential component in the development of the emerging field of Affective Computing. Key-Words: Physiologic Monitoring, Blood Volume Pulse, Galvanic Skin Resistance, Pupil Diameter, Affective Computing, Human-Computer Interaction.

Instrumentation for Automatic Monitoring of Affective State in Human-Computer Interaction
In the modern world we interact with computers for many activities, such as working and learning. Computers are great tools for these tasks. However, some times our interaction with computers is degraded because they are inflexible and unaware of our own level of comfort in that interaction. The emerging field of ‘Affective Computing’ strives to give computers an awareness of the affective stat...
متن کاملStress detection in computer users through non-invasive monitoring of physiological signals.
he emerging discipline of Affective Computing pursues the development of computers that could interact with their users taking their affective states into account. For example, if a computer could detect when its user is experiencing stress, it could change the colors and sounds of its user interface to try to calm him/her down. Similarly, the pace of instruction in a computer-based training sy...

Much progress has been made during the last 40 years in the quest to improve the interaction of humans with computers. While new modalities of communication between computers and their users continue to be found and enhanced (e.g., speech recognition for human-to-computer communication and speech synthesis for computer-tohuman communication), the nature of the exchange between computers and use...
متن کاملSignificance of Pupil Diameter Measurements for the Assessment of Affective State in Computer Users
The need to provide computers with the ability to distinguish the affective state of their users is a major requirement for the practical implementation of Affective Computing concepts. The determination of the affective state of a computer user from the measurement of some of his/her physiological signals is a promising avenue towards that goal. In addition to the monitoring of signals typical...
