Physiological Response

Physiological response research focuses on understanding and measuring bodily reactions to various stimuli, aiming to improve interventions and enhance safety across diverse applications. Current research utilizes diverse methods, including wearable sensors to monitor heart rate variability, respiratory patterns, electrodermal activity, and eye tracking, often coupled with behavioral observations and computational modeling (e.g., Gaussian processes) to analyze complex interactions. This work has significant implications for personalized medicine (e.g., tailoring therapies for autism), human-robot interaction (assessing perceived safety), and improving human performance in demanding tasks (e.g., driving, drone piloting). The integration of physiological data with behavioral and environmental factors is a key trend, enabling more nuanced and effective interventions.
