LSU Professor Receives NSF CAREER Award, Research Addresses Privacy Concerns in Videoconferencing: Since the pandemic, our primary means of interacting have evolved to include video conferencing applications, which are broadly used to connect geographically distant people for work, school, and even socially. During these interactions, it’s not uncommon for a user to turn off his or her microphone and/or camera out of concern for privacy. However, microphones and cameras can still leak other kinds of information beyond what is seen and heard through “micro signals,” which are too tiny for humans to recognize but detectable by machines.
