“…Accordingly, some research has suggested that artificially inducing piloerection creates the feeling of surprise in research subjects (Fukushima and Kajimoto, 2012). Other researchers have "embodied" certain physiological signals and created a wearable suit which communicates the experience of awe and piloerection (Neidlinger et al, 2019). One possible avenue for future research may be to explore exactly how piloerection is connected to perceptions by considering these alternative directionalities.…”

“…As for the magnification/reduction structure, researchers could design activity trackers aimed at increasing the person's body awareness amplifying certain body signals, which they may be not aware of. Activity trackers could include biofeedback functionalities (e.g., Frey et al, 2018;Neidlinger et al, 2019) to magnify proprioceptive sensations, like the level of fatigue and respiration, by recommending that the person pay more attention to such sensations when they are undergoing a change. Design could learn from "expert people" (e.g., expert patients) what subtle body signals are important (e.g., in certain chronic conditions) and then focus "novices" on such signals, in order to allow them to better recognize their symptoms.…”

Wearable technologies as extensions: a postphenomenological framework and its design implications

Wearable technologies are increasing both in number and variety enabling new ways for collecting personal data, as well as novel interaction modalities. Even though the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) community has widely explored the potential applications of wearables, its theoretical contribution on this research field has been far from impressive. Most scholars and designers seem to rely on a series of dominant assumptions that look at wearables "from the outside" by focusing on their "external properties." When these assumptions are fully embraced at design-time, however, they may cloud opportunities for designing for the "internal aspects" of our everyday experience. In this article, I propose a theory that looks at wearables "from the inside," giving a theoretical backdrop to all those wearable designs that pay attention to the internal aspects of interaction. By adopting a postphenomenological approach, I conceptualize wearable devices as "extensions" of our intentionality and introduce the "extension relation" to explain how wearables may alter how we relate to the world. In doing so, I propose a series of design considerations that aim to trace future research lines for all those wearables that are currently designed from an "externalistic" perspective.

This paper provides an accessible review of the biological and psychological evidence to guide new and experienced researchers in the study of emotional piloerection in humans. I first discuss the mechanisms and function of non-emotional and emotional piloerection. A systematic review (N = 27) reveals that indices of sympathetic activation are abundant, suggesting emotional piloerection occurs with increased skin conductivity and heart rate. Measures of emotions and parasympathetic activation are lacking and no clear conclusions can be drawn. Finally, I provide an overview of the methodological possibilities and I highlight some pressing questions researchers may wish to answer in future studies.
