Physiologically Based Interaction and Adaptive Visualization (C02)

• Subject Area: Human Factors, Ergonomics, Human-Machine Systems
• Term: from 2015 to 2019
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 251654672

In this project, we research new methods and techniques for cognition-aware visualizations. The basic idea is that a cognition-aware adaptive visualization will observe the physiological response of a person while interacting with a system und use this implicit input. Electrical signals measured on the body (e.g. EEG, EMG, ECG, galvanic skin response), changes of physiological parameters (e.g. body temperature, respiration rate, and pulse) as well as the users¿ gaze behavior are used to estimate cognitive load and understanding. Through experimental research, concepts and models for adaptive and dynamic visualizations will be created. Frameworks and tools will be realized and empirically validated.
