About
Shane Halse is a researcher whose work sits at a fascinating intersection of human psychology, technology, and social perception. His scholarship has focused primarily on **technomorphism** — a concept exploring how humans increasingly attribute technological characteristics to themselves and others, and how immersion in technology shapes human cognition and self-perception. Halse's most notable contribution is his collaborative development of the **Technomorphic Tendencies Scale (TTS)**, introduced in his 2011 paper "Are We Becoming Super-Human Cyborgs?" This groundbreaking work challenged the conventional focus on making robots more human-friendly, instead proposing that humans themselves are beginning to think and make decisions in machine-like ways. The paper has garnered 7 citations and established a new conceptual framework within human-robot interaction research. Building on this foundation, his 2012 follow-up study examined how technomorphic tendencies influence social perception, specifically investigating whether individuals high in technomorphic traits process human faces and social cues differently. Together, these works have accumulated 11 citations, reflecting their value as early-stage theoretical contributions to an emerging field. Students interested in cyborg theory, human-computer interaction, or the psychological dimensions of technological immersion will find Halse's work a thought-provoking starting point.
