Summary :

An experiment was conducted to measure and compare the physiological effects of three types of CRT on users. We proposed a new strategy for measuring the user's level of relaxation. In this strategy, called "Task Break Monitoring (TBM)," the subjects took a break with eyes closed after each interaction with the computer. During each break, electroencephalogram (EEG), especially alpha 1 waves, electrocardiogram (ECG) and galvanic skin resistance (GSR) were monitored and recorded. The results show that the type of CRT display which emits far-infrared rays modulated by a FIR-fan induce less fatigue in users while they are working and reduce the recovery time after the task was completed. We believe "TBM" to be an important innovation in human computer research and development because the after effects of computer use have an obvious bearing on recovery time, user endurance and psychological attitude to the technology in general etc.
