ABSTRACT
This paper explores the development and testing of fabric electrodes to collect a range of physiological measures. The aim is to integrate these sensors into a Virtual Reality (VR) headset to collect physiological and muscular motion data that will help detect emotion, cognitive load and facial expressions. As part of an on-going project, we have already developed prototypes of the EMG and GSR sensors. A head phantom has been developed for the purpose of testing and validating electrode performance.
