Human-Centred Sensing

Human-centred sensing research offers insight into human performance and cognition at work

Human-centred sensing, including those using physiological measures, is being explored as a way to provide new insight into human performance and cognition in work domains. In DigiTOP, our research has evaluated multiple types of physiological sensing technology, including functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), facial thermography, cardiac sensing, and respiratory sensing, and their potential applications as indicators of operator cognitive state in digital manufacturing tasks.
