(dario.bertola@studenti.polito.it ) My research focuses on the human perception of thermal images, considered as a possible "energy six sense" in our daily life. The main idea is to make energy easily perceivable and understandable by everyone. Psychology and Biomedical Engineering are involved in this project to develop a method of evaluating the human perceptual, cognitive and emotional responses to thermal images. The objective is to understand the potential for achieving understanding and behavioural change when thermal imaging is incorporated into things as diverse as the home thermostat or the car dashboard. .
