HI-Cam: Intelligent Biofeedback Signal Processing

Hurnanistic Intelligence (HI) is defined by two embodying elements. (1) It is a signal processing framework in which the human and the computer use each other in a feedback loop. (2) The HI processing apparatus is inextricably intertwined with the natural capabilities of the human mind and body. The Humanistic Intelligent Camera, or HI-Cam, is a wearable personal imaging application of HI. It uses physiological signal processing such as Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) analysis on EEG signals to control various parameters of a personal cybernetics system. EyeTap [1] devices are particularly well suited to being controlled by brainwaves, because the parameters of the system are observable on the screen of the EyeTap viewfinder. ‘I’ his provided a direct means of physiological control over a video capture program, creating a camera system embodying humanistic intelliegence.
