Human Subject

Human subject research is crucial for understanding human behavior and informing the design of human-centered technologies, but faces challenges in ethical considerations, data collection, and generalizability. Current research focuses on improving data collection methods, including the use of alternative approaches like robotic surrogates and large language models to supplement or even partially replace human participants, while carefully addressing issues of data leakage and bias in model training. These efforts aim to enhance the reliability and validity of research findings, ultimately leading to more robust and ethical advancements in fields like human-robot interaction, medical image analysis, and psychological studies.
