How does NoldusHub work?
NoldusHub streamlines data collection, making it remarkably easy for users. A common reaction from first-time users is, "Wow, I can't believe how simple this is!" With just a few clicks, you can access all your synchronized data effortlessly. The system integrates data from a webcam, eye-tracking device, and various physiological sensors. With these, you can measure a variety of signals and behavioral input:
- Facial expressions - Webcam - Basic expressions can be analyzed, such as happy, sad, angry, and surprised, as well as a neutral state. In addition, the mental states interest, boredom, and confusion can be measured.
- Gaze and fixation – Stationary eye tracker - Observe the test participant’s gaze on a computer screen to get rich, quantitative, and reliable data for attention, cognitive load, and arousal.
- Physiological measures and responses – ECG and PPG - Detect changes in physiological measures and find out whether a test participant is active, or excited or scared.
- Audio, video, screen captures, and more - Postures, movements, nonverbal and verbal behavior - all can be observed to get a complete insight into the participants behavior, responses, and motivations.
Why should I use NoldusHub?
NoldusHub captures multiple behavioral and physiological signals, helping you understand motivations, emotions, and decisions. It streamlines the setup, connecting all your devices and synchronizing data from webcams, eye-trackers, and sensors.
The entire process is simplified into one tool, saving you time and providing clear insights into complex human behavior.
What can I use NoldusHub for?
NoldusHub simplifies multimodal research by combining multiple data streams in one place - from physiological responses to facial expressions - making it easy to gather insights into human behavior.
You can use NoldusHub for a wide range of applications, from human behavior studies and cognitive psychology to usability testing and behavioral economics research, ensuring accurate, reliable data.
How do I use NoldusHub?
A standard NoldusHub solution consists of a NoldusHub Core: one participant station, and one test leader station. NoldusHub offers one access point to control and visualize all recorded signals.
Connect your devices, log in via a secure browser, and manage experiments from a central interface. Get real-time feedback on data quality, and safely store your research data.
What is multimodal research?
In order to understand a person’s motivation and emotional state, multimodal research is the way forward!
This interdisciplinary approach combines different data acquisition tools to provide a more comprehensive understanding of human behavior. Multimodal research often involves capturing data from various sources simultaneously.
Frequently asked questions
Is derived data calculated in real-time or post-analysis?
Derived data—like facial expressions, heart rate, and electrodermal responses—are calculated in real-time, allowing you to review these signals immediately during data collection. This instant access makes it easy to adjust or monitor sessions as needed.
Calculations for more complex indicators, like cognitive workload (from pupil dilation and ambient light data), are available right after data collection, accessible during replay mode for a thorough review.
Where is my collected data stored?
Your data is securely stored on a dedicated NoldusHub server within your organization’s network. This setup keeps all your raw and processed data in one centralized location, ensuring easy access and control.
Anyone with granted access can view and edit the data on their own devices. Plus, you have the flexibility to download your collected data to your computer anytime.
Can I download all data that is collected?
You can download an extensive set of data collected by the devices supported by NoldusHub. To keep things streamlined, we initially pre-selected key data points for export, ensuring that the process is straightforward and manageable.
However, we’ve expanded download options based on user demand, allowing you access to more data, including raw signals like pupil size and data quality metrics, so you have the flexibility to dig as deep as you need.
