Author: Alaina McClanen - Clemons Introduction The use of biometric tools and devices has become a widespread practice in law enforcement. Whether for identification or record-keeping, advancing biometric tools in law enforcement is necessary in a growing technological world. Although biometrics is an ever-expanding field, law enforcement has a surprisingly long history with biometric data. Starting in the late 19th and early 20th century, fingerprinting was adopted as a key

Author: Margot Hartley What are neurofeedback and biofeedback? Neurofeedback and biofeedback are treatments based on brain and muscle activity that can be used to regulate symptoms of disorders. Biofeedback refers to the measurement of bodily responses so people may use this information to control reactions. Eventually, they may reach a state of relaxation to mitigate symptoms. Examples of these reactions include: heart rate, blood flow/pressure, muscle tension, pain percepti

Author: Benjamin Liddell Eye tracking has become a valuable biometric tool for measuring engagement with types of stimuli. Eye tracking technology is a type of sensor that tracks the position and movement of the eyes. All types of eye trackers have the same main functionality: they measure gaze points and fixation duration to assess attention or engagement. While all eye trackers have the same purpose, they don’t all work the same way. The way they are designed determines...

Author: Jillian Rossman How trustworthy do you believe self-reports and surveys are in a study? For decades, Information Systems (IS) research focused solely on traditional methods such as self-reports, surveys, interviews, and archival data analysis. Neuro-Information Systems (Neuro-IS) combines neuroscience imaging techniques to answer IS research questions. In this article, we will go over what Information Systems and Neuro-Information Systems are, as well as Neuro-Informa

Author: Adelisa Pelinkovic Introduction Whether it is due to morning rush-hour traffic or an upcoming job interview, stress is a part of our everyday lives. While some forms of stress, such as short-term stress, have been found to be beneficial, stress has overall received a bad reputation for its effects on our health.

Author: Noah Lepore Introduction Two of the most important factors hindering human functioning are fatigue and drowsiness. Most people struggle with them, but for pilots and drivers, they can create life-or-death situations. Detecting fatigue and drowsiness early, before they become major problems, is critical to preventing accidents. In recent years, biometric technology has advanced tremendously, providing promising tools for real-time fatigue and drowsiness recognition. In

Author: Karoline Shipton Introduction In the early 1900s, psychologists began to observe interesting patterns: blinking seemed to increase during moments of mental tension. A simple reflex, thought only to maintain moisture in the eye revealed so much more about human behavior. Today, we know that blinking serves more than just a biological purpose; it can be used as a behavioral biometric — something measurable that reflects human attention, cognitive load, and emotional sta
