Description of the research topic:

The empirical usability evaluation techniques of the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) research area aim at objectivity. The psychophysiology-based methods can support this and exploration of deep relationships via identifying changes in (1) mental effort and (2) emotional statuses.
Involving heart rate variability, pupil dilatation, eye movements, skin conductance, and, maybe, event related potentials of the brain, and possible further psychophysiological channels into studies of HCI can provide more results than earlier applications did, both from theoretical and practical aspects.
