This paper describes a framework for small scale experiments on man-machine systems. Four basic techniques relying on reconstruction, discrimination, prediction and problem solving are discussed together with suggestions for a series of experiments. Finally, the data recording requirements from the various parts of a DIPOS system are discussed in detail.
