HTI

Elective: Introduction to the HTI Domain

Introduction to the HTI Domain is a core Master course providing an overview of HTI topics and their theoretical foundations, including ethics, philosphy and social science focusing on interaction between human and technology.

As part of the elective I wrote discussion point for four different papers, as well as writing a 3500 word research proposal evaluating how configuration exercises and direct experience with smart home systems affect beliefs about these systems and intention to adopt them.

Elective: Advanced Cognition

In 'Advanced Cognition' I became acquainted with the field of cognitive science and its theoretical perspctives, involving a breadth of theory related to working memory, attention Resarch, modelling, similarity, stimulus response congruency and behavioural attitudes. For each topic I performed a theory-based analysis of how it relates to a topic of my choice (Manual self-tracking) as part of a behavioural research team assignment. In addition to this I created mental models of cognitive aspects of self-tracking.

Elective: Advanced Perception

'Advanced Perception' featured an in-depth and statistical approach to attention theory and research, exploring the use of bayesian statistics in signal detection theory, decision-making theory, audiovisual and visuohaptic perception and sensory substitution. It also introduces a biological theory of how the brain, eyes and other senses work. Understanding of this theory of perception provides insight on how information can be percieved by observers and how perception sometimes fails us.

Human-Technology-Interaction During the first half of my second year at TU/e I did three electives in the MSc Human-Technology Interaction in order to broaden my perspectives on research and user studies.
