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 pote ...

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…
