Abstract

Peripheral interaction, the reflexive and reactive pre-attentive use of tools and techniques on the periphery of conscious attention, has always been a fundamental part of how humans interact with the world. In fact, it is very likely that our ancestors have been interacting peripherally since well before they were human. In the midst of searching for new paradigms for interaction with the ubiquitous networks of embedded systems that fill our homes and workplaces, it might be a good idea to look at the peripheral tasks we are already performing. Ironically, being on the periphery of our conscious attention, this complex assortment of internal and external interactions has gone largely unnoticed. In this chapter, we use the principles of anthropology-based computing to follow Mark Weiser’s advice and drag these tasks to the center of our attentive focus for a closer examination before deciding whether or not to relegate them once more to the borders of our perception.

Fußnoten
1
Cerebellum = the part of the brain in which complex reflex patterns are coordinated.
 
2
Crescive = developing over time without conscious direction.
 
3
Ratiocination = rational thought, reflection.
 
4
Corollary discharge = this is a copy of the internal signal generated by our neuromotor system when we execute a movement. The copy seems to serve to let us know whether our body is moving under our own control, or under the influence of some other factor.
 
5
Protoprosimian = ancient relatives who predate the division between our dry-nosed ancestors and their wet-nosed cousins.
 
6
Pons and medulla oblongata = parts of the brain stem linking the rest of the brain to the spinal cord.
 
7
Beta-wave activity = electrical activity between 12.5 and 30 Hz, a range of frequency commonly used in studies of the natural electrical activity in the brain.
 
8
Prefrontal cortex = the front-most part of the neocortex—the crumpled up, six-layered brain hat we wear under our skulls.
