Basic conceptsBasic concepts
What is a “user interface”? The contact between machine and man
What is human-machine interaction? How to interact with machines
• Many types of machines
Why study human-machine interaction and interfaces?
This is NOT only software development....
Simple examplesSimple examples
Examples:
Development of various indicators (speed in cars)
• Traffic psychology Automatic response systems (telephones)
• Easy non-human communication- banks Interactive programs (games)
• What else – true interaction? Developing, learning software (ABI)
Goals of human-Goals of human-machine interactionmachine interaction
Usable and safe systems
Functional systems– (....automatic telephone systems)
Goals of human-Goals of human-machine interactionmachine interaction
Understand limiting factors (most often human)
Development of tools with respect to these limitations

What kind of biological signals exist?
How and where are these generated?
How can these be measured?
Which of these can be utilized to control external devices?
The concept of The concept of biofeedbackbiofeedback
What is biofeedback? “ Biofeedback is this state-of-the-art, Twenty First Century tool. Biofeedback is a sophisticated, therapeutic training technology that you can use to unleash your potential, reclaim your health, and take control of your life”
A history of biofeedback?
How, why and where can biofeedback be utilized?
Which bodily signals can be controlled?
What can be gained with biofeedback?
Animal studies on Animal studies on biological signals biological signals
Why study animals?
Similarities and dissimilarities between animals and humans?
Similarities and dissimilarities between the biological signals generated by animals and humans?
What has been studied in animals?
What have we learnt about humans from these studied?
Limb prostheses Limb prostheses
What are limb prostheses?
For what purposes are these?
With which biological signals can these be controlled?
