Designing Apps to Track Mental Workload (2023)
Presentation / Conference

Brain-related wearables are now freely available on the market, and with even wrist-worn devices making estimates about cognitive activity, understanding Cognitive Personal Informatics (CogPI) has become a pressing issue. In this paper, we present a... Read More about Designing Apps to Track Mental Workload.

When High Mental Workload is Good and Low Mental Workload is Bad (2023)
Presentation / Conference

Brain-related wearables are now freely available on the market, and with even wrist-worn devices making estimates about cognitive activity, understanding cognitive personal informatics has become a pressing issue. Mental Workload is an emotionally ag... Read More about When High Mental Workload is Good and Low Mental Workload is Bad.

Designing for Reflection on our Daily Mental Workload (2023)
Conference Proceeding

This paper presents a research plan, at the outset of new doctoral research, designing for reflection on cognitive personal informatics and self-tracking of Mental Workload. The research will build upon the Mental Workload cycle, considering how peop... Read More about Designing for Reflection on our Daily Mental Workload.

Resolving conflicts during human-robot co-manipulation (2023)
Conference Proceeding

This paper proposes a machine learning (ML) approach to detect and resolve motion conflicts that occur between a human and a proactive robot during the execution of a physically collaborative task. We train a random forest classifier to distinguish b... Read More about Resolving conflicts during human-robot co-manipulation.

ScoutWav: Two-Step Fine-Tuning on Self-Supervised Automatic Speech Recognition for Low-Resource Environments (2022)
Conference Proceeding

Recent improvements in Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) systems obtain extraordinary results. However, there are specific domains where training data can be either limited or not representative enough, which are known as Low-Resource Environments (...

Nottingham Robotic Mobility Assistant (NoRMA): An Affordable DIY Robotic Wheelchair Platform (2022)
Conference Proceeding

A significant portion of the population requires a wheelchair to improve mobility, independence, and dignity but not all users are able to use a traditional manual one. Powered wheelchairs offer a more effortless experience but still present difficul... Read More about Nottingham Robotic Mobility Assistant (NoRMA): An Affordable DIY Robotic Wheelchair Platform.

How Stress and Mental Workload are Connected (2019)
Conference Proceeding

Mental Workload (MWL) can be both good and bad; we can thrive under high MWL, or our performance can drop if the demands become either too low or too high. Similarly, stress is not always bad, short term stress can be beneficial to overcome a challen... Read More about How Stress and Mental Workload are Connected.

From Director's Cut to User's Cut: to Watch a Brain-Controlled Film is to Edit it (2019)
Conference Proceeding

© 2019 Copyright held by the owner/author(s). Introducing interactivity to films has proven a longstanding and difficult challenge due to their narrative-driven, linear and theatre-based nature. Previous research has suggested that Brain-Computer Int... Read More about From Director's Cut to User's Cut: to Watch a Brain-Controlled Film is to Edit it.

Tracking the Consumption of Home Essentials (2019)
Conference Proceeding

Predictions of people's behaviour increasingly drive interactions with a new generation of IoT services designed to support everyday life in the home, from shopping to heating. Based on the premise that such automation is difficult due to the conting... Read More about Tracking the Consumption of Home Essentials.
