SIG PhysioCHI: Human-Centered Physiological Computing in Practice

Abstract

In recent years, integrating physiological signals in Human-Computer Interaction research has significantly advanced our understanding of user experiences and interactions. However, the interdisciplinary nature of this research presents numerous challenges, including the need for standardized protocols and reporting guidelines. By fostering cross-disciplinary collaboration, we seek to enhance the reproducibility, transparency, and ethical considerations of physiological data in HCI. The purpose of this SIG is to offer a lightweight opportunity for CHI attendees to connect with the community around the center point of physiological computing. This SIG will address key topics such as technical challenges, ethical implications, reproducibility, and open science. We aim to meet as a community and connect with HCI researchers and practitioners to network and exchange bi-directional ideas. Ultimately, our goal is to create a foundation for future research and to establish a community around physiological computing.
