Processing Information from the Human Body: Measurements of Biological and Behavioural Signals as a Unifying Link

This contribution proposes the concept of “measurements of biological and behavioural signals” for interdisciplinary research on the automated processing of information from the human body. This concept has merits in mitigating legal definitions’ instability. We further aim to bridge legal and technical vocabularies, both responding to specific methodologies. Revising this concept should enable a more coherent approach and account for information about the human body, emerging sensing devices, and automated systems.
