Inner-Active Art: An examination of aesthetic and mapping issues in physiologically based artworks
(ISEA, 2009)Much art seeks to describe or stimulate the feelings and emotions of the viewer, through both abstract and literal representation. With the exponential increase in computing power over recent years we also seek new ways ... -
Affective Feedback in a Virtual Reality based Intelligent Supermarket
(ACM, 2017)The probabilistic nature of the inferences in a context-aware intelligent environment (CAIE) renders them vulnerable to erroneous decisions resulting in wrong services. Learning to recognize a user’s negative reactions to ... -
Biosignal-driven Art: Beyond biofeedback
(CMMAS, 2011)Biosignal monitoring in interactive arts, although present for over forty years, remains a relatively little known field of research within the artistic community as compared to other sensing technologies. Since the early ... -
Contagion of Physiological Correlates of Emotion between Performer and Audience: An Exploratory Study
(2010)Musical and performance experiences are often described as evoking powerful emotions, both in the listener/observer and player/performer. There is a significant body of literature describing these experiences along with ... -
AffecTech-an affect-aware interactive AV Artwork
(ISEA International, 2009)New developments in real-time computing and body-worn sensor technology allow us to explore not just visible gestures using inertial sensors, but also invisible changes in an individual’s physiological state using bio-sensors ... -
The Emotion in Motion Experiment: Using an Interactive Installation as a Means for Understanding Emotional Response to Music
(NIME, 2012)In order to further understand our emotional reaction to music, a museum-based installation was designed to collect physiological and self-report data from people listening to music. This demo will describe the technical ... -
Creating Biosignal Algorithms for Musical Applications from an Extensive Physiological Database
(NIME, 2015)Previously the design of algorithms and parameter calibration for biosignal music performances has been based on testing with a small number of individuals - in fact usually the performer themselves. This paper uses the ... -
Multimodal Interaction in Music Using the Electromyogram and Relative Position Sensing
(NIME, 2002)This paper describes a technique of multimodal, multichannel control of electronic musical devices using two control methodologies, the Electromyogram (EMG) and relative position sensing. Requirements for the application ... -
Lantern Field: Exploring Participatory Design of a Communal, Spatially Responsive Installation
(NIME, 2013-05)Lantern Field is a communal, site-specific installation that takes shape as a spatially responsive audio-visual field. The public participates in the creation of the installation, resulting in shared ownership of the work ... -
Emotion in Motion: A Reimagined Framework for Biomusical/Emotional Interaction
(NIME, 2015)Over the past four years Emotion in Motion, a long running experiment, has amassed the world’s largest database of human physiology associated with emotion in response to the presentation of various selections of musical ... -
Sensory Chairs: A System for Biosignal Research and Performance
(NIME, 2008-06)Music and sound have the power to provoke strong emotional and physical responses within us. Although concepts such as emotion can be hard to quantify in a scientific manner there has been significant research into how the ... -
YourWellness: Designing an Application to Support Positive Emotional Wellbeing in Older Adults
(BISL, 2012)Emotional wellbeing is an important indicator of overall health in adults over 65. For some older people, age-related declines to physical, cognitive or social wellbeing can negatively impact on their emotional wellbeing, ... -
Design of a Mobile Brain Training Tool for Seniors: Motivational Requirements
(ICST, 2012)The overall goal of this project is to design, develop, and validate a mobile phone-based ‘brain training’ software suite targeted at senior users, using iterative person-centered design methodologies, that will permit a ... -
The integral Music controller: Introducing a Direct Emotional Interface to gestural control of sound synthesis.
(Michigan Publishing, 2005-09)This paper describes the concept of the integral music controller (IMC), a controller that combines gestural interface with direct emotional control of a digital musical instrument. This new controller enables the performer ... -
Creating a Network of Integral Music Controllers
(NIME, 2006)In this paper, we describe the networking of multiple Integral Music Controllers (IMCs) to enable an entirely new method for creating music by tapping into the composite gestures and emotions of not just one, but many ... -
Review of user interface devices for ambient assisted living smart homes for older people
(International Society for Gerontechnology, 2010)Smart homes generally focus on issues to do with security, health, energy savings and entertainment, issues which grow in importance as we age. The sensors, actuators and entertainment devices required to build such a ...
