This article discusses the role of commonly used neurophysiological tools such as psychophysiological tools (e.g., EKG, eye tracking) and neuroimaging tools (e.g., fMRI, EEG) in Information Systems research. There is heated interest now in the social sciences in capturing presumably objective data directly from the human body, and this interest in neurophysiological tools has also been gaining momentum in IS research (termed NeuroIS). This article first reviews commonly used neurophysiological tools with regard to their major strengths and weaknesses. It then discusses several promising application areas and research questions where IS researchers can benefit from the use of neurophysiological data. The proposed research topics are presented within three thematic areas: (1) development and use of systems, (2) IS strategy and business outcomes, and (3) group work and decision support. The article concludes with recommendations on how to use neurophysiological tools in IS research along with a set of practical suggestions for developing a research agenda for NeuroIS and establishing NeuroIS as a viable subfield in the IS literature.

• Digital Nudging (2016, background): “Future research may also relate to the field of NeuroIS (Dimoka et al. 2012), which investigates the use of body data to further our knowledge of the design, use, and impact of information systems (Loos et al.”
• Future directions for behavioral information security research (2013, background): “Another completely new research methodology that has the potential to address the identified shortcomings is based on neurosciences such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and event related potential (ERP) neuroimaging technology (Dimoka, 2010, 2012; Dimoka et al., 2012).”
