The time spent in leisure activities is one of the main indicators of the quality of our lives. It includes watching TV, playing games, sleeping, exercising, etc. Some people are very serious about their work and other people hardly do anything at all. Therefore, it is hard to accurately measure how much a person really does.
The most commonly used method for measuring human activity is time-use studies which ask people about how they spend their days according to the three dimensions: light work – amount of time spent on paid work outside school hours; heavy work – amount of time spent on unpaid work inside school hours; leisure and sports – amount of time spent watching TV or surfing the internet.
It is not entirely clear which subjective method is best to measure human activity of adults. The most commonly used methods are the EEG and electrocardiogram.
Here we discuss the pros and cons of each of the two most commonly used subjective methods – EEG and electrocardiogram, as well as mention some other commonly used objective methods that are available.
Subjective Methods: An Electroencephalographic (EEG) measurement is a non-invasive method for assessing brain activity that uses electrodes attached to the scalp to detect electrical brain waves via amplifiers and filters.
Objective Methods: It can be measured using devices such as electromyography, magnetoencephalography or quantitative electroencephalograph at intervals ranging from minutes up to hours.
