Measure cognitive and emotional data from respiration
Respiration is a measurement of the breath. Our breathing changes in relation to our actions in the world – whether physical or mental. Engaging in exercise clearly changes how we breath, but it also changes in response to increased cognitive load, emotionally-charged stimuli, and even while communicating with others. Respiration provides a non-intrusive and incisive insight into a participant’s actions and reactions in the world.
How does it work?
The Respiration module supports non invasive wired and wireless sensors from BIOPAC and PluX Biosignals that straps to the torso and detects changes in chest or abdominal movements as a result of breathing. Raw data is then streamed to iMotions Lab ready for analysis.
Analytical tools for respiration
iMotions provides automatic tools that streamline respiration analysis. This includes notch and bandpass filtering, breath detection, Respiration Rate (breaths/min), Respiratory Cycle Count (number of respiration cycles in a period of time), and Respiratory Cycle Duration (in seconds).
Bring respiration into your analysis
Researchers are already using the respiration module to:
- Track reactions in driving simulators
- Investigating drowsiness when driving
- Exploring cognitive load for deep-learning algorithms
