Biological human-machine interfaces (2 ov) L • Today: • brief introduction • description of material
Basic concepts • What is a “user interface”? • The contact between machine and man • What is human-machine interaction? • How to interact with machines • Many types of machines • Why study human-machine interaction and interfaces? • This is NOT only software development....
Simple examples • Examples: • Development of various indicators (speed in cars) • Traffic psychology • Automatic response systems (telephones) • Easy non-human communication- banks • Interactive programs (games) • What else – true interaction? • Developing, learning software (ABI)
Goals of human-machine interaction • Usable and safe systems • Functional systems • (....automatic telephone systems)
Goals of human-machine interaction • Understand limiting factors (most often human) • Development of tools with respect to these limitations
Definition: biological interfaces • What is a biological human-machine interface? • Examples?
Why biological human-machine interaction? • Why and when are not “normal” user-interfaces enough?
The nature and origin of biological signals What kind of biological signals exist? How and where are these generated? How can these be measured? Which of these can be utilized to control external devices?
The concept of biofeedback What is biofeedback?“Biofeedback is this state-of-the-art, Twenty First Century tool. Biofeedback is a sophisticated, therapeutic training technologythat you can use to unleash your potential, reclaim your health,and take control of your life” A history of biofeedback? How, why and where can biofeedback be utilized? Which bodily signals can be controlled? What can be gained with biofeedback?
Animal studies on biological signals Why study animals? Similarities and dissimilarities between animals and humans? Similarities and dissimilarities between the biological signals generated by animals and humans? What has been studied in animals? What have we learnt about humans from these studied?
Limb prostheses What are limb prostheses? For what purposes are these? With which biological signals can these be controlled? Video
HCI: Human-Computer Interfaces How can humans interact with computers? And vice versa? The biological human body as a limiting factor when designing HCI:s? Evolutionary aspects?
ABI: Adaptive Brain-Computer Interface How can brain signals be utilized in human-computer interaction? What types of brain signals will do? Who needs this, anyway? When are such devices needed? How can humans be taught to control for their brain signals? How can computers be taught to understand brain signals?
Closing and summary of the seminar series General discussion and conclusions.
