Abstract

Human Threading(TM) is new approach in developing innovative computing technologies. It uses novel physiologic combinations to measure the human brain and body in an effort to create greater efficiency among human and machine. A divergent group of measurement techniques are employed in this process including EEG, NIRS, fMRI, GSR, Saccade testing and more. An overarching goal in this area of study will be the development of simultaneous, multi-modal operating platforms providing efficiency and interchangeability. As an example this paper provides a comparison of efficiency between two email systems. The first system is a standard Microsoft Outlook-based email application using Microsoft XP. The next is a voice-based email system created at the Human Threading(TM) research laboratory. EEG and time trials were performed on ten participants with a total of 30 trails. Voice-based email was shown to be 220% faster and use statistically less cognitive load on participants prefrontal cortex. This paper shows initial results in support of Human Threading(TM) and the potential power behind efficient, modal specific operating platforms.
