Physiological data feedback for application in distance education

ABSTRACT

This paper describes initial experiments collecting physiological data from subjects performing computer tasks. A prototype realtime Emotion Mouse collected skin temperature, galvanic skin response (GSR), and heartbeat data. Possible applications to distance education, and a second-generation system are discussed.
