This talk introduces the notion of empirical measurements of designing and contrasts it with design theory. It describes three categories of measurement:

1. Design Cognitiometrics: the measurement of design cognition, generally using protocol analysis; 2. Design Physiometrics: the measurement of the designer’s physiology while designing using sensing devices; and 3. Design Neurometrics: the measurement of the designer’s neurophysiology while designing using non-intrusive brain activity capture.

The talk presents examples from each of the three categories and closes with implications for designers and for design theories.
