Biosignals and User Interfaces

Contents

The class "Biosignals and User Interfaces" provides an introduction to technologies that utilize different human-emitted biosignals to transfer information and thereby revolutionize the design of user interfaces. The main focus is on the interaction between humans and machines.

Aims

Students should gain insight into the basics of the examined biosignals - their origin, measurement, and interpretation and potential usefulness in human-machine interfaces. They should learn to analyze and formally describe the problems, challenges, and potential of using these signals for user interfaces.

Language

Lecture slides are in English. The lecture, tutorial, and coursework are in German.

Course Number

The course can be found in the Modulhandbuch or on Studip with this number: 03-BB-899.11
