Welcome to the first lesson of our NoldusHub online training course! In this first video, we’ll give you a short refresher on the capabilities of NoldusHub and how it can revolutionize your research process:
How does it work?
Let’s talk about how NoldusHub makes data collection super easy and efficient. With just a few clicks, you can access all your synchronized data without any hassle. NoldusHub integrates data from a webcam, eye-tracking device, and various physiological sensors, allowing you to measure a wide range of signals and behavioral inputs.
What kind of data can you combine?
- Facial expressions: Using a webcam, you can analyze basic expressions like happy, sad, angry, and surprised, as well as a neutral state. You can also measure mental states such as interest, boredom, and confusion.
- Gaze and fixation: With a stationary eye tracker, you can observe where a participant is looking on a computer screen. This provides rich, quantitative data on attention, cognitive load, and arousal.
- Physiological measures and responses: Using ECG and PPG sensors, you can detect changes in physiological measures to find out if a participant is active, excited, or scared.
- Comprehensive observations: You can capture audio, video, screen activities, and more to observe postures, movements, and both nonverbal and verbal behaviors. This gives you a complete insight into participants’ behavior, responses, and motivations.
Multiple participants
NoldusHub stands out with its unique ability to run up to four experiments simultaneously, saving you valuable time and effort. You can work with up to four test stations and manage sessions for one to four participants. Each test station can be overseen by a different test leader, allowing for simultaneous management of all four stations.
Now, let’s talk a bit more about multimodal research.
