EDA Self-Interface



ongoing
Partly completed as part of the master’s thesis for dual master in Computer Science (HCI) and Integrated Design and Management at MIT
Advisors: Arvind Satyanarayan, Rosalind Picard, James Landay






EDA self-interface is a real-time biofeedback device that connects a wearable EDA sensor to a real-time haptic biofeedback device. This project consists of three parts. First, a formal exploration of what on-body biofeedback devices that aim to extend the senses might look like, published in proceedings of TEI 20. Next, developing an algorithm for detecting a novel EDA characteristic (ongoing). And lastly, a long-term study of real-time biofeedback on the detected characteristic on an Apple watch (ongoing).

The E4 EDA sensor sends the participant data to the mobile app in real-time via Bluetooth. The mobile app processes the data and broadcasts select changes in the signal to the EDA Self-Interface via Bluetooth.
