Abstract :
Biofeedback as a form of physiological human-computer interaction and interactive art offers a wide scope for future creative development, with obvious potential for applications beyond the art gallery, including therapeutic and health-promotion applications. Participation in this arena requires an appreciation of the full interactive experience, since these systems engage the body not simply as a data set but as a living subject, experiencing and responding to the world according to the person´s felt sense, motivations, and curiosities.
