Abstract

The confluence of significant computational power and inexpensive sensors provides the opportunity to reliably collect large volumes of information from the world and extract humanly useful information resources. This paper reviews a coherent body of work over the last 20+ years focused on development of advanced bio-inspired computing techniques, and their applications primarily for human related data in behaviour and human centered computing. We close with a synthesis proposing an experiment analysis methodology combining these tools.
