“Am I talking to a human or a robot?” : a preliminary study of human’s perception in human-humanoid interaction and its effects in cognitive and emotional states by Baka, Evangelia, Vishwanath, Ajay, Mishra, Nidhi, Vleioras, Georgios, Thalmann, Nadia Magnenat

“…To support our research, we have used EEG recordings to capture the physiological signals derived from the brain during each interaction, audio recordings to compare speech features and a questionnaire to provide psychometric data that can complement the above. Our results mainly showed the existence of frontal theta oscillations while interacting with the humanoid that probably shows the higher cognitive effort of the participants, as well as differences in the occipital area of the brain and thus, the visual attention mechanisms. …”
