Design is inherently affected by human-related factors and it is of no surprise that the fine-tuning of instruments capable of measuring aspects of human behavior has attracted interest in the design field. The recalled instruments include a variety of devices that capture and quantitatively assess people's unintentional and unconscious reactions and that are generally referred as neurophysiological or biometric. The number of experimental applications of these instruments in design was extremely limited as of 2016, when Lohmeyer and Meboldt published a first report on relevant measures and their interpretation in design. In the last few years, the number of relevant publications has increased dramatically and this determines the opportunity to carry out a comprehensive review in the field. The reviewed contributions are analyzed and classified according to, among others, instruments used, the kind of stakeholders involved and the supported design research activities. The role of biometric measures with respect to traditional research methods is emphasized too. The discussed instruments can represent supports or substitutes for traditional approaches, as well as they are capable of exploring phenomena that could not be addressed hitherto. The intensity of research concerning experiments with biometric measurements is discussed too; a particular focus of the final discussion is the individuation of obstacles that prevent them from becoming commonplace in design research.

回顾在实验设计研究中使用神经生理学和生物测量学的措施

设计本质上受到与人类相关的因素的影响，能够测量人类行为方面的仪器的微调引起了设计领域的兴趣也就不足为奇了。召回的仪器包括各种设备，用于捕获和定量评估人们的无意和无意识反应，通常被称为神经生理学或生物识别学。截至 2016 年，这些仪器在设计中的实验应用数量极为有限，当时 Lohmeyer 和 Meboldt 发表了第一份关于相关措施及其在设计中的解释的报告。在过去几年中，相关出版物的数量急剧增加，这决定了在该领域进行全面审查的机会。审查的贡献根据使用的工具、涉及的利益相关者的种类和支持的设计研究活动等进行分析和分类。生物特征测量相对于传统研究方法的作用也得到了强调。所讨论的工具可以代表传统方法的支持或替代品，并且它们能够探索迄今为止无法解决的现象。还讨论了有关生物测量实验的研究强度；最后讨论的一个特别重点是阻碍它们在设计研究中变得司空见惯的障碍的个体化。生物特征测量相对于传统研究方法的作用也得到了强调。所讨论的工具可以代表传统方法的支持或替代品，并且它们能够探索迄今为止无法解决的现象。还讨论了有关生物测量实验的研究强度；最后讨论的一个特别重点是阻碍它们在设计研究中变得司空见惯的障碍的个体化。生物特征测量相对于传统研究方法的作用也得到了强调。所讨论的工具可以代表传统方法的支持或替代品，并且它们能够探索迄今为止无法解决的现象。还讨论了有关生物测量实验的研究强度；最后讨论的一个特别重点是阻碍它们在设计研究中变得司空见惯的障碍的个体化。
