## thinking some thoughts  How do people interpret biosignals?  How does their interpretation change with different forms of presentation?  How does their interpretation change in different contexts?  How does their interpretation change with different people?  their own biosignals v. others' biosignals  How does interpretation of biosignals create meaning in their lives? or not?   Creating a "Freaky" like device but looking at excitement rather than fear, and combining signals from two colocated people into one shared object. Getting people to try this out in various contexts  - if two people are having a work-related meeting, does it help them gauge what the other is excited about? Does it make it awkward for them?  - if two people are bonding as friends, how does it play out differently?  - or if they are on a date?  - how does it get them to think about the algorithmic interpretation of their excitement, and how it might actually be the other person's excitement, and about ideas of empathy and shared feelings?  - there's a lot of work in the privacy space thinking about how privacy differs in different contexts. Maybe we can port some of that into security as well.  Some other thoughts  * How can we leverage ambiguity?   * Are there also dominant metaphors in the way people use/represent this data that we can try to invert or challenge?  * How can we explicitly acknowledge and engage the idea that data is constructed by designers and the system? (i.e. data isn't "naturally occuring" "in the wild". (if people agree with this))
