Human-Machine Communication*: State-of-the-Art Technologies

Due to the recent progress towards development of communication technology, the state-of-the-art technologies of digital communication age, information/multimedia age, and human-machine communication age were presented. Based on today’s communication technology, we effectively utilize physiological signal transmission as a real-time monitoring via wireless network and the Internet, e.g., the use of real-time physiologically based analysis, human-machine interaction, body area network, and telemedicine. Moreover, we provided an overview of the interdisciplinary scientific study to investigate human brain, i.e., cognitive science, and related research literatures.
