Resumo(s)
Advances in biosensing technologies have led to the commercialization of novel lightweight wearable devices, which have
been praised by urban scholars for offering the possibility to quantify emotions in real-world settings, something that had
proven to be very challenging until now. Although many studies mix biosensing with qualitative methods to provide a
clearer picture of what physiological data might mean in terms of emotions, there has been little exploration of how people
interpret their own biodata. Following calls for greater attention to participation in biosensing studies, this article explores
the nuances of the interpretation of biodata by research participants. Drawing on the findings of a study in which participants were invited to reflect on and discuss their own biodata during and after a walk in a high street in Lisbon, we show
how exposing participants to biodata creates moments of bounded interference that foster in-depth reflection about the
urban experience. With this in mind, we discuss how bounded interference can be a generative driver for more detailed
discussions about spatial experiences.
