Catalog Description
This course explores the theoretical foundations and practical applications of biometric research methods in User Experience (UX) evaluation. Students will gain expertise in biometric measurement techniques including eye-tracking, electroencephalography (EEG), galvanic skin response (GSR), heart rate variability (HRV), and related physiological indicators. Through case studies and hands-on projects, working with their own data or available datasets, students will learn to design, conduct, and analyze studies using these biometric methods while critically examining their effectiveness, limitations, and ethical considerations. The course emphasizes the use of biometric data for UX evaluation but will also cover its potential as alternative input mechanisms in interactive systems.
Restrictions
Enrollment in Information Studies (INF) courses is restricted to graduate students in the School of Information through registration periods 1 and 2, with outside students only being accepted during period 3.
