Voice Control System & Multiplatform Use

/

How do users perceived their relationships with voice agents that embody and represent interaction with a device? And what kind of interaction would be best for users and voice agents in a multiplatform or multi-device environment? Would users prefer and respond more strongly to a single, consistent voice agent that follows users across platforms? Or would they prefer and trust specialist agents who “specialize” in their interaction with a particular platform.

Biometrics

/

In a collaboration with electrical engineering and computer science post-doc and faculty, this project measures brain patterns elicited from mathematics and image-matching n-back tasks to identify  individuals on the basis of their “brain-print.” The study required participants to come into the lab multiple times to participate in EEG and fNIRS data collection.
