Interacting with human physiology

Interacting with human physiology
Pavlidis et al discuss the use of non-invasive techniques to monitor human physiology. Using thermal imaging the heart rate, respiration rate, and stress level. This involves face tracking. Generally this is accomplished by the Condensation method tracking the area of interests with adjustments using a more global face tracker and remembering the position the area of interest with respect to the face.

Discussion
This is an interesting area of research, but all these applications were presented to my Senior Seminar class 3 years earlier. I was hoping for a new application or method.
