Banji Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that reads data obtained from people through both ergonomics and data science.
AboutAbout the lab
Reading human responses through data
The Banji Lab studies a variety of data obtained from humans.
From the perspectives of ergonomics and data science, it deals with human responses ranging from subjective to objective and from conscious to unconscious.
The lab is particularly interested in how people respond when they face a new system.
It is exploring how "reality" is represented through data obtained from people.
Key terms
- Ergonomics
- A field that seeks to understand the interactions between people and tools or environments, and considers usability and safety
- Data Science
- A field that analyzes collected data with statistics and machine learning and draws out what can be concluded from it
- Human Interface
- A field that deals with the screens and controls that serve as the point of contact between people and machines, and their design

*Illustrative imageEffects of Light Seen with Eyes Closed
When people are exposed to flickering light with their eyes closed, they sometimes see patterns behind their eyelids. The lab measures how differences in flicker patterns show up in physiological responses and mental states.
*Illustrative imageAugmenting Human Data with Deep Learning
Biological and behavioral data measured from people take effort to collect, so the amount available is limited. The lab studies techniques that use deep learning to augment such ergonomics data so that it can be used in analysis.
