We are studying collaboration in socially connected open software development environments like GitHub.
We are exploring the impact of algorithmic, data-driven management on human workers and work practices in the context of Uber and Lyft.
We use screen-based and glasses eyetrackers from Tobii to measure attention to interface elements, collaborators and other information during interactions.
We use skin conductance and heart rate variability sensors to measure engagement and workload.
We are exploring the utility of consumer grade neurological sensing equipment.
We do motion tracking and facial expression analysis during communication and collaborative interaction using Kinects and cameras.
We have lab rooms for conducting interviews, one or two person interactions, and group studies. If you would like to use the lab or equipment, please complete this form.
