Journal Article
Wogu, E., Filima, P., Caron, B., Deabler, D., Herholz, P., Leal, C., Mehboob, M. F., Kim, S., Gosain, A., Flexwala, A., Hayashi, S., Akintoye, S., Ogoh, G., Godwin, T., Eke, D., & Pestilli, F. (in press). A labeled Clinical-MRI dataset of Nigerian brains. Scientific Data, 12(3), Article 518. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41597-025-04743-0

There is currently a paucity of neuroimaging data from the African continent, limiting the diversity of data from a significant proportion of the global population. This in turn diminishes global health research and innovation. To address this issue,... Read More about A labeled Clinical-MRI dataset of Nigerian brains.

We explore transdisciplinary collaborations between artists and roboticists across a portfolio of artworks. Brendan Walker's Bronco-matic was a breath controlled mechanical rodeo bull ride. Blast Theory's Cat Royale deployed a robot arm to play with... Read More about How Artists Improvise and Provoke Robotics.

Practical Aberration Correction using Deep Transfer Learning with Limited Experimental Data (2025)
Journal Article
Kok, Y. E. N., Bentley, A., Parkes, A. J., Somekh, M. G., Wright, A. J., & Pound, M. P. (2025). Practical Aberration Correction using Deep Transfer Learning with Limited Experimental Data. Optics Express, 33(6), 14431-14444. https://doi.org/10.1364/oe.557993

Adaptive optics is a technique for correcting aberrations and improving image quality. When adaptive optics was first used in microscopy, it was common to rely on iterative approaches to determine the aberrations present. It is advantageous to avoid...

Tangles: Unpacking Extended Collision Experiences with Soma Trajectories (2025)
Journal Article
Benford, S., Garrett, R., Li, C., Tennent, P., NÚÑEZ-PACHECO, C., Núñez-Pacheco, C., Kucukyilmaz, A., Tsaknaki, V., HÖÖK, K., Höök, K., Caleb-Solly, P., Marshall, J., Schneiders, E., Popova, K., & Afana, J. (in press). Tangles: Unpacking Extended Collision Experiences with Soma Trajectories. ACM Transactions on Computer-Human Interaction, https://doi.org/10.1145/3723875

We reappraise the idea of colliding with robots, moving from a position that tries to avoid or mitigate collisions to one that considers them an important facet of human interaction. We report on a soma design workshop that explored how our bodies co... Read More about Tangles: Unpacking Extended Collision Experiences with Soma Trajectories.

H is for Human and How (Not) To Evaluate Qualitative Research in HCI (2025)
Journal Article
Crabtree, A. (2025). H is for Human and How (Not) To Evaluate Qualitative Research in HCI. Human-Computer Interaction, 1-24. https://doi.org/10.1080/07370024.2025.2475743

Concern has recently been expressed by HCI researchers as to the inappropriate treatment of qualitative studies through a positivistic mode of evaluation that places emphasis on measurement and metrics. This contrasts with the nature of qualitative r... Read More about H is for Human and How (Not) To Evaluate Qualitative Research in HCI.
