the mind machine
The mind machine is a podcast devoted to the latest research in applied neurosciences, physiological computing, neuroadaptive interfaces and human factors psychology. Each episode features a conversation with a different researcher about their work. Our discussions will focus on emerging technologies, such as: brain-computer interfaces, system automation, affective computing, wearable sensors and assistive technology. The conversations will cover technical aspects of the work as well as potential societal impacts. The podcast will present academic research in a way that is both informal and accessible for both professional and non-professional listeners.

Ep 6: Dick De Waard on Traffic Psychology
•
Stephen Fairclough
In episode 6 of the mind machine, I talk to Prof. Dick De Waard about his research into traffic psychology and human factors. We discuss how driving behaviour is measured on the real-road and in simulators and how psychophysiological methods can be integrated into those environments. We also have a long chat about the measurement of mental workload and the logistics of doing applied research, particularly with users of illegal drugs.
