Hi agoge,

do you have an Arduino? If not so, get one! Depending on your electronics parts bin, you can do all kind of simple stuff:

Very Simple: Use a pushbutton to control an LED.
Simple: Use a pot to control the brightness of an LED.
Simple: Build a cpacitive sensor from aluminium foil and use that to either toggle or dim an LED.

and so on and so on...

So what do you have in your parts collection and how complex should this get? If really just "Interact with the human body somehow", I would go for dimming an LED with a capacitive sensor, as it is a)simple, b)cool, and c)you only need a capacitor, aluminium foil, an LED and an Arduino.

Maybe you should have started your project a little sooner

Take a look at the Playground on the Arduino website. It tells you how to connect just about anything up to an Arduino.
