Digital human modeling

Más información sobre el libro

Emerging information technologies have transformed human interactions, exemplified by the rapid evolution of thumb usage for controlling mobile devices. In the medical field, advancements like pill cameras, implantable devices, robotic surgeries, and virtual reality training are revolutionizing our lives and work. Human Algorithms aim to model human forms, interactions, and dynamics in this evolving landscape. These engineering methods extend beyond theoretical frameworks, pushing the limits of multi-physics, sensing, and virtual technologies. They have become more comprehensive and cost-effective for real-world applications, integrated into monitors, networks, and even within patients. This book reflects the current state of Human Algorithms, serving as a survey of innovative concepts for newcomers in the field. It targets college students, researchers, engineers, designers, scientists, managers, and healthcare professionals. The 11 chapters are organized into three parts: Human Dynamics, Virtual Humans, and Human Forms. The first chapter, “Implantable Computing,” by Warwick and Gasson, provides an overview of Brain to Computer Interfacing developments, detailing human experimentation with neural implants that connect the nervous system bi-directionally with technology and the Internet. The subsequent chapter, “Brainwave-Based Imagery Analysis,” by Cowell et al., continues to explore these advancements.
