Pre-Conference Drop-in workshop (27th August)

We previously mentioned a possible workshop on NoldusHub (NoldusHub | Multimodal software system for human behavior studies | Noldus), it will take place at LSE, the morning of the 27th August (just before the official start of the ATSiP conference).

Speaking with the Tracksys team we thought rather than having a structured workshop it would be more useful to have an open session where you can test the system and put it through its paces and ask questions that may come up. The Noldus team are still interested in receiving feedback on the system so any comments or suggestions you have will be appreciated.

The Tracksys team are with us at various points of the conference so if you are interested in the system but can’t get to the morning session, let us know as I would imagine it will still be possible to find some time for a quick demo.

I’ll leave you with the overview Andy sent me:

NoldusHub is the all-in-one solution for combining different types of measurements. Producing the reliable, high-quality data you need, along with instant, meaningful insights into human behaviour and decision-making.

The system integrates data from a webcam, eye-tracking device, and various physiological sensors. With these, you can measure a variety of signals and behavioural input:

Facial expressions – Webcam – Basic expressions can be analysed, such as happy, sad, angry, and surprised, as well as a neutral state. In addition, the mental states interest, boredom, and confusion can be measured.

Gaze and fixation – Stationary eye tracker – Observe the test participant’s gaze on a computer screen to get rich, quantitative, and reliable data for attention, cognitive load, and arousal.

Physiological measures and responses – GSR and PPG – Detect changes in physiological measures and find out whether a test participant is active, or excited or scared.

Audio, video, screen captures, and more – Postures, movements, nonverbal and verbal behaviour – all can be observed to get a complete insight into the participants behaviour, responses, and motivations.
