'Measuring flow: Refining research protocols that integrate physiological and psychological approaches.' Human Behavior and Emerging Technologies, 2025(1), article 6464984. doi:10.1155/hbe2/6464984. the structural indictment of the physiological strand, from a review of 69 studies. 'We discovered the use of eight nonvalidated psychological flow verification instruments (used in 33 studies), ambiguity and a lack of transparency in the interpretation and reporting of the verification results (36 studies)... These issues with measuring flow through self-assessment make it impossible to accurately validate hypothesised flow states using physiological approaches.' BE FAIR TO THEM, AND THE ARTICLE IS: the framing is constructive, they propose protocol guidelines and they plainly expect a marker to be findable.
