本文介绍了在戏剧环境中使用可穿戴、多模式身体和大脑传感进行神经科学研究的想法。可穿戴动作捕捉服用于跟踪两个演员一起表演一系列场景时的身体动作。一名演员还佩戴了基于功能性近红外光谱 (fNIRS) 的头戴设备，以记录其前额皮质的激活模式。然后，使用运动数据中的重复来自动分割 fNIRS 数据以供进一步分析。这项探索表明，戏剧的半结构化和可重复性可以为神经科学提供一个有用的实验室，而可穿戴传感是实现这一目标的一种有前途的方法。这很重要，因为它指出了一种在比传统实验室方法更自然、更社会的环境中研究大脑的新方法。
This paper introduces the idea of using wearable, multi-modal body and brain sensing, in a theatrical setting, for neuroscientific research. Wearable motion capture suits are used to track the body movements of two actors while they enact a sequence of scenes together. One actor additionally wears a functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS)-based headgear to record the activation patterns on his prefrontal cortex. Repetitions in the movement data are then used to automatically segment the fNIRS data for further analysis. This exploration reveals that the semi-structured and repeatable nature of theatre can provide a useful laboratory for neuroscience, and that wearable sensing is a promising method to achieve this. This is important because it points to a new way of researching the brain in a more natural, and social, environment than traditional lab-based methods.
