On The Use of Neurophysiological Tools in Is Research: Developing A Research Agenda for Neurois1
回顾了常用神经生理学工具(如心电图、眼动追踪、功能性磁共振成像、脑电图)在信息系统研究中的优缺点,并提出了三个主题领域(系统开发与使用、信息系统战略与商业成果、群体工作与决策支持)中的潜在应用和研究问题,为神经信息系统子领域的研究议程提供了建议。
This article discusses the role of commonly used neurophysiological tools such as psychophysiological tools (e.g., EKG, eye tracking) and neuroimaging tools (e.g., fMRI, EEG) in Information Systems research. There is heated interest now in the social sciences in capturing presumably objective data directly from the human body, and this interest in neurophysiological tools has also been gaining momentum in IS research (termed NeuroIS). This article first reviews commonly used neurophysiological tools with regard to their major strengths and weaknesses. It then discusses several promising application areas and research questions where IS researchers can benefit from the use of neurophysiological data. The proposed research topics are presented within three thematic areas: (1) development and use of systems, (2) IS strategy and business outcomes, and (3) group work and decision support. The article concludes with recommendations on how to use neurophysiological tools in IS research along with a set of practical suggestions for developing a research agenda for NeuroIS and establishing NeuroIS as a viable subfield in the IS literature.
