Interactions homme-machinethumb|Personne plongée dans la réalité virtuelle grâce à un visiocasque et un gant électronique. thumb|L'interface homme-machine d'un des ordinateurs de bord des missions Apollo. L'interaction Homme-machine (ou interaction humain-machine), appelée IHM, s’intéresse à la conception et au développement de systèmes interactifs en prenant en compte ses impacts sociétaux et éthiques. Les humains interagissent avec les ordinateurs qui les entourent et cette interaction nécessite des interfaces qui facilitent la communication entre l'humain et la machine.
Self-awarenessIn philosophy of self, self-awareness is the experience of one's own personality or individuality. It is not to be confused with consciousness in the sense of qualia. While consciousness is being aware of one's environment, body, and lifestyle, self-awareness is the recognition of that awareness. Self-awareness is how an individual experiences and understands their own character, feelings, motives, and desires. Neural basis of self There are questions regarding what part of the brain allows us to be self-aware and how we are biologically programmed to be self-aware.
ÉlectroencéphalographieL'électroencéphalographie (EEG) est une méthode d'exploration cérébrale qui mesure l'activité électrique du cerveau par des électrodes placées sur le cuir chevelu souvent représentée sous la forme d'un tracé appelé électroencéphalogramme. Comparable à l'électrocardiogramme qui permet d'étudier le fonctionnement du cœur, l'EEG est un examen indolore et non invasif qui renseigne sur l'activité neurophysiologique du cerveau au cours du temps et en particulier du cortex cérébral soit dans un but diagnostique en neurologie, soit dans la recherche en neurosciences cognitives.
AwarenessIn philosophy and psychology, awareness is a concept about knowing, perceiving and being cognizant of events. Another definition describes it as a state wherein a subject is aware of some information when that information is directly available to bring to bear in the direction of a wide range of behavioral actions. The concept is often synonymous to consciousness and is also understood as being consciousness itself. The states of awareness are also associated with the states of experience so that the structure represented in awareness is mirrored in the structure of experience.
NeurofeedbackLe neurofeedback est un type de biofeedback au cours duquel l'activité neuronale d’un individu est mesurée et lui est présentée en temps réel (sous différentes formes : son, image, etc.). Le but de cette méthode est que l’individu arrive à autoréguler son activité neuronale supposée sous-tendre un comportement ou une pathologie spécifique. De cette manière, avec le temps, le participant pourrait être capable d’apprendre comment contrôler volontairement l’activation de son cortex cérébral afin de réguler sa cognition et ses comportements dans la vie de tous les jours.
Système de reconnaissance facialeUn système de reconnaissance faciale est une application logicielle visant à reconnaître automatiquement une personne grâce à son visage. Il s'agit d'un sujet particulièrement étudié en vision par ordinateur, avec de très nombreuses publications et brevets, et des conférences spécialisées. La reconnaissance de visage a de nombreuses applications en vidéosurveillance, biométrie, robotique, indexation d'images et de vidéos, , etc. Ces systèmes sont généralement utilisés à des fins de sécurité pour déverrouiller ordinateur/mobile/console, mais aussi en domotique.
Reconnaissance gestuelleGesture recognition is a topic in computer science and language technology with the goal of interpreting human gestures via mathematical algorithms. It is a subdiscipline of computer vision. Gestures can originate from any bodily motion or state, but commonly originate from the face or hand. Focuses in the field include emotion recognition from face and hand gesture recognition since they are all expressions. Users can make simple gestures to control or interact with devices without physically touching them.
Modality (human–computer interaction)In the context of human–computer interaction, a modality is the classification of a single independent channel of input/output between a computer and a human. Such channels may differ based on sensory nature (e.g., visual vs. auditory), or other significant differences in processing (e.g., text vs. image). A system is designated unimodal if it has only one modality implemented, and multimodal if it has more than one. When multiple modalities are available for some tasks or aspects of a task, the system is said to have overlapping modalities.
Self-consciousnessSelf-consciousness is a heightened sense of awareness of oneself. It is not to be confused with consciousness in the sense of qualia. Historically, "self-consciousness" was synonymous with "self-awareness", referring to a state of awareness that one exists and that one has consciousness. While "self-conscious" and "self-aware" are still sometimes used interchangeably, particularly in philosophy, self-consciousness is now also commonly used to refer to a preoccupation with oneself, especially with how others might perceive one's appearance or one's actions.
Gamma waveA gamma wave or gamma rhythm is a pattern of neural oscillation in humans with a frequency between 25 and 140 Hz, the 40 Hz point being of particular interest. Gamma rhythms are correlated with large scale brain network activity and cognitive phenomena such as working memory, attention, and perceptual grouping, and can be increased in amplitude via meditation or neurostimulation. Altered gamma activity has been observed in many mood and cognitive disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, epilepsy, and schizophrenia.
