Integrating physiological signals in Human-Computer Interaction research has significantly advanced our understanding of user experiences and interactions. However, the interdisciplinary nature of this research presents numerous technical challenges. These include the lack of standardized protocols, unclear guidelines for data collection and preprocessing, and difficulties in pipeline management, reproducibility, and transparency. The purpose of this meet-up is to offer a lightweight opportunity for CHI attendees to connect around these issues, exchange experiences, share tools and workflows, and identify best practices. By fostering open exchange, we aim to improve the reliability of physiological data in HCI, promote open science, and build a sustainable community. Ultimately, our goal is to overcome technical barriers and strengthen the foundation for future research in physiological computing.
Open Inviation
Join us in person at CHI in Barcelona to talk about the practical side of physiological computing in HCI, from noisy data and fragile pipelines to missing standards and reproducibility. The meetup will feature short impulse inputs and small-group discussions where scholars at all career stages can compare tools, workflows, and lab setups, and share both success stories and failures. By joining, you will connect to an ongoing PhysioCHI community that works toward shared best practices and more reliable, human-centered use of physiological signals in HCI.
