Abstract:

This commentary is a response to Interacting with Computers (Vol 14)—[Interacting Comput. 14 (2002) 119], [Interacting with Comput. 14 (2002) 141], [Interacting Comput. 14 (2002) 93]. Its aim is to discuss the role that neurophysiological measurements, such as EEG and MEG, may play in affective computing. The discussion is drawn upon the light of current experience and practice, as well as, advances envisaged in the fields of health informatics, telecommunications and biomedical engineering. It is explained why HCI research into interface evaluation and affective computing may be greatly enhanced by exploiting the underlying information of neurophysiological recordings.
