“…We can thus imagine engineering emotional reactions to an environment by creating physiological sensations using wearable electronics and allowing users to label them. For example, we can change user's perception of their heart rate using false heart rate feedback and expect an arousal [15] or fear-related cognitive label through interoception. Since the labelling is part of a reflective process, this phenomenon would be classified as a metaconscious or meta-aware process.…”

Recent research in psychology distinguishes levels of consciousness into a tripartite model-conscious, unconscious and metaconscious. HCI technologies largely focus on the conscious pathway for computer-to-human interaction, requiring explicit user attention and action. In contrast, the other two pathways provide opportunities to create new interfaces that can alter emotion, cognition and behavior without demands on attentional resources. These direct interfaces connect to cognitive processes that are in our perception but outside our conscious control. In this work, we feature two sub-categories, namely preconscious and metasomatic within the tripartite model of consciousness. Our goal is to provide a finer categorization of cognitive processes that can better help classify HCI research related to activating non-conscious cognitive pathways. We present the design of two wearable devices, MoveU and Frisson. From lessons learned during the iterative design process and the user studies, we present four design considerations that can be used to aid HCI researchers of future devices that influence the mind. With this work we aim to highlight that awareness of consciousness levels can be a valuable design element that can help to expand the range of computer-to-human interface devices we build. CCS Concepts: • Human-centered computing → Interaction design theory, concepts and paradigms; HCI theory, concepts and models.

“…The participants felt lower levels of anxiety and found the technique as subtle. They replicated their study (Costa et al, 2019) including a condition with 30% reduced HR biofeedback, which induced an HRV decrease, improved performance, and reduced anxiety. A study using similar wrist-worn (Azevedo et al, 2017) found a consistent pattern of results with a reduced biofeedback, since the arousal level (measured by electrodermal activity) and selfreported anxiety were lower.…”

Towards Mindless Stress Regulation in Advanced Driver Assistance Systems: A Systematic Review

2020

Background: Stress can frequently occur in the driving context. Its cognitive effects can be deleterious and lead to uncomfortable or risky situations. While stress detection in this context is well developed, regulation using dedicated advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) is still emergent.Objectives: This systematic review focuses on stress regulation strategies that can be qualified as “subtle” or “mindless”: the technology employed to perform regulation does not interfere with an ongoing task. The review goal is 2-fold: establishing the state of the art on such technological implementation in the driving context and identifying complementary technologies relying on subtle regulation that could be applied in driving.Methods: A systematic review was conducted using search operators previously identified through a concept analysis. The patents and scientific studies selected provide an overview of actual and potential mindless technology implementations. These are then analyzed from a scientific perspective. A classification of results was performed according to the different stages of emotion regulation proposed by the Gross model.Results: A total of 47 publications were retrieved, including 21 patents and 26 studies. Six of the studies investigated mindless stress regulation in the driving context. Patents implemented strategies mostly linked to attentional deployment, while studies tended to investigate response modulation strategies.Conclusions: This review allowed us to identify several ADAS relying on mindless computing technologies to reduce stress and better understand the underlying mechanisms allowing stress reduction. Further studies are necessary to better grasp the effect of mindless technologies on driving safety. However, we have established the feasibility of their implementation as ADAS and proposed directions for future research in this field.

“…While technologies targeting emotional awareness tend to mirror affective responses, those targeting emotional regulation tend to support changing these responses. Landmark HCI work on the former include systems such as AffectiveDiary [74] and AffectAura [50], while examples for the latter include systems such as AffectiveHealth [15] and others [6,7,18,49,52,57,78,82] targeting mostly regulation of high arousal negative affect. These systems help users to modulate their ongoing emotions through the provision of real-time interventions commonly employing visual or haptic feedback, albeit with limited exploration of how they can be designed and personalized by users.…”

Figure 1: ThermoPixels components: a) liquid crystal sheet b) rub-and-reveal sheets c) thermochromic paints d) heating pad e) nichrome wire f) conductive fabric g) Peltier element h) insulation materials i) GSR sensor and Arduino and j) support tools ABSTRACTMuch research has shown the potential of affective interfaces for reflection on, and understanding of bodily responses. Yet, people find it difficult to engage with, and understand their biodata which they have limited prior experience with. Building on affective interfaces and material-centered design, we developed ThermoPixels, a toolkit including thermochromic and heating materials, as well as galvanic skin response sensors for creating representations of physiological arousal. Within 10 workshops, 20 users with no expertise in biosensors or thermochromic materials created personalized representations of physiological arousal and its real-time changes using the toolkit. We report on participants' material exploration, their experience of creating shapes and the use of colors for emotional awareness and regulation. We discuss embodied exploration and creative expression, the value of technology in emotion regulation and its social context, and the importance of understanding material limitations for affective sensemaking.
