Master's thesis Wearable technology (such as fitness trackers) use several sensors to record biosignals, such as Photoplethysmography, Accelerometers/Gyroscopes, and Electrodermal activity. These sensors may be helpful in an aviation context, particularly with respect to human factors and pilot per...
