Beyond system logging: human logging for evaluating information visualization

In this position paper, we propose to investigate novel technologies for evaluating information visualization systems: physiological sensing. We review existing technologies and describe how advances in physiological sensing open a novel perspective for the evaluation of information visualization systems.
