The Problem

  • How to make live arousal data more

accessible?

  • Make EDA data intuitive to non-

scientists

  • Real time arousal monitoring
  • Preventing problem behavior in

children

slide-3
SLIDE 3

Electrodermal Activity

  • Measure of skin

conductance

  • Sympathetic ANS

activates

  • Skin becomes more

conductive

Early Conceptions

  • Goal

– Measure and represent arousal level – Indicate high and low arousal

  • Target user

– Teachers in centers for autism – Children on the spectrum

  • Data

– Difficult to understand – Hard to correlate with visible arousal

Our Approach

  • Use colors and shapes to represent

arousal level and arousal change

– Basic information – Easy to process – Fast to process

slide-11
SLIDE 11

Circle Scheme

  • Variable #1: diameter of

grey circle

– Represents baseline – Function of history

  • Variable #2: diameter of

red circle

– Represents current arousal – Function of current EDA (perhaps smoothed over some amount of time)

Hyper- aroused Hypo- aroused

slide-12
SLIDE 12

Color Scheme

  • Variable: color

– Function of EDA relative to baseline

Highest relative arousal Lowest relative arousal baseline

slide-13
SLIDE 13

Other designs

  • Images intuitive for children
  • Physical sensor changing state
  • Using directionality to show

increases in arousal

  • Using baselines of signal to

determine arousal level

slide-14
SLIDE 14

Design decisions

  • Focus on direction of the signal

(increasing and decreasing)

  • Use basic shapes and figures: arrows
  • Focus on teachers as a user
slide-15
SLIDE 15

New Design Scheme

  • Signal arousal change rather than

level

  • Eliminates need for baseline*

*sort of.. We’ll get back to this later

This shows the raw EDA This symbol shows the recent trend in arousal change A pink arrow pointing up indicates arousal is rising

This display changes…

1.2

This shows the raw EDA This symbol shows the recent trend in arousal change The arrow can be thick or thin. A thick arrow indicates a rapid change.

This display changes…

1.2

This shows the raw EDA This symbol shows the recent trend in arousal change When a purple box appears, this means the signal is very jumpy (labile)

slide-22
SLIDE 22

Stabile signal Labile signal

slide-23
SLIDE 23

Lability

  • Frequency of phasic EDA
  • Individuals can be more stabile/

labile

  • Associated with high cognitive load
  • Also stress

  • Information

available:

– Rising or falling – Fast or slow – Stable or labile – Raw EDA

  • Information not

available:

– Context, how current state fits into individual’s history

Testing with Dot Lucci

Director of Consultation for MGH/YouthCare

  • Former teacher and school psychologist
  • Works with teens with Aspergers
  • Consults on how to make spaces and

systems more compatible

  • Clinical interest in anxiety & relaxation
slide-34
SLIDE 34

Initial Reactions

  • Distracted by graph
  • Hard time remembering significance of

colors

  • Found thick-thin system for arrows non-

intuitive

  • Not complicated, just would take some

time to learn

slide-35
SLIDE 35
  • Need to find a way to capture

gradual change (particularly rise)

– Feature where you can see net change over x amount of time – Allows for “antiseptic bounce”

slide-36
SLIDE 36
  • Interface should be customizable for

user

– Option to hide graph – Graph windowed to different time spans – Option to measure across different time spans

slide-37
SLIDE 37
  • Interface should be customizable for

monitored individual

– Calibrated to kid’s own normal range – Name and photo of child next to display

Ultimately teacher’s choice how to use the information

  • Match optimal arousal with setting

– Higher for PE – Lower for reading

  • Still need for learning, attention to
  • ther cues

40 min of data - Arousal increasing? Decreasing? Constant?

Future Work

  • Testing Session with teachers and

parents

  • Next system prototype
  • Reiterating the design process
  • What kind of rises in arousal to focus

in the real setting?
