Technology Could Enable Computers To ‘Read The Minds’ Of Users

Tufts University researchers are developing techniques that could allow computers to respond to users’ thoughts of frustration (too much work) or boredom (too little work).

They are using light-based functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) technology to monitor brain blood flow as a proxy for workload stress.
