The scientists placed sensors on people’s fingers to record pulse amplitude while they were in a driving simulator, as a measure of arousal. An algorithm used those recordings to learn to predict an average person’s pulse amplitude at each moment on the course. It then used those “fear” signals as a guide while learning to…
