“…The biological signal used in the lie detector test is skin conductance response (SCR), which occurs due to a change in conductance on the surface of skin by sweating resulting from agitation, surprise or excitation of a person. [2,8,4,5,9] Even though people believe that we know a lot about our body, people really know very little about the physiological functions of their own bodies. That is because almost all physiological functions of the living body are involuntary and uncontrollable.…”

There are many computer games in the world, but generally game players challenge either the computer, or real players in the case of many person games. In view of the strong connectivity advocated between communication and entertainment in the field of entertainment computing, the use of biological signals for computer games is of interest. Here, a novel type of game using biological signals was developed as an entertainment device. The change in skin conductance caused by sweating was measured as a signal reflecting the player's agitation during the game. This type of game incorporates various characteristics relating to communication. First, players of the game challenge themselves because they are able to view their detected biological signals. In this situation, a kind of self-reference system is constructed. Second, the environments in which the game is played changed how the game was enjoyed. Third, the game system reveals differences of context between player and observer. From these characteristics, it is considered that the use of biological signals is attractive for entertainment computing.

“…Skin conductance is generally considered to be the more efficient and reliable, as measuring changes in resistance magnitude from basal activity level has inherent problems associated with it (Dawson, Schell, & Filion, 2000). To measure conductance, two electrodes are attached to the examinee's palm or fingers and a small current is applied in order to measure factors such as conductance level, changes in conductance level, frequency of spontaneous responses, event-related response amplitude, latency, rise time and half recovery time (Dollins, Krapohl, & Dutton, 2000), See Figure 2 for an example of the polygraph measuring equipment most commonly used.…”

The history of research into psychophysiological measurements as an aid to detecting lying, widely known as the 'lie detector' or polygraph, is the focus of this review. The physiological measurements used are detailed and the debates that exist in regards to its role in the investigative process are introduced. Attention is given to the main polygraph testing methods, namely the Comparative Question Test and the Concealed Information Test. Discussion of these two central methods, their uses and problems forms the basis of the review. Recommendations for future research are made specifically in regards to improving current polygraph technology and exploring the role of the polygraph in combination with other deception detection techniques.

“…Since SCL differs between users, it is necessary to always compare it to an average or control value (specific to each user). Skin conductance responses (SCR) may also occur: they are peaks in SCL that happen spontaneously one to three times per minute (depending on users) or directly after a stimulus [Dawson et al 2000]. The amplitude of SCR may be related to the strength of the reaction to the stimulus.…”

Robots are becoming more and more present in our everyday life: they are already used for domestic tasks, for companionship activities, and soon they will be used to assist humans and collaborate with them in their work. Human-robot collaboration has already been studied in the industry, for ergonomics and efficiency purposes, but more from a safety than from an acceptability point of view. In this work, we focused on how people perceive robots in a collaboration task and we proposed to use virtual reality as a simulation environment to test different parameters, by making users collaborate with virtual robots. A simple use case was implemented to compare different robot appearances and different robot movements. Questionnaires and physiological measures were used to assess the acceptability level of each condition with a user study. The results showed that the perception of robot movements depended on robot appearance and that a more anthropomorphic robot, both in its appearance and movements, was not necessarily better accepted by the users in a collaboration task. Finally, this preliminary use case was also the opportunity to guarantee the relevance of using such a methodology -based on virtual reality, questionnaires and physiological measures -for future studies.
