The Humansensing framework enables data collection anytime anywhere via mobile devices. For one single individual/event or for a segment. The design of a crossplatform Humansensing app can be constructed 5 steps(menu selections). The app may include notifications of the testpersons. The notification can be executed based on a research designbased timeschedule (once every morning, twice a week, once a month etc), manually or datamined. The content of the notification(and the app) can be assessment or interventions. These assessment or interventions can be alphanumerical or visual input.

The Humansensing framework is a research methodology intervention as well. When data collection processes is eased what are the new research methological frontiers in human science? Better understanding of mind-body dualism? New assessmenttypes based on Ecological Momentary Assessment and visual assessments? Adoption of metatags as sound scientific evidence? Hints to what the frontiers in research methodology can be is given as introduction to a discussion on the issue.

The lecture is an invitation to a collaboration and I am available after lunch for a discussion of collaboration opportunities.
