Adaptative computerized cognitive training decreases mental workload during working memory precision task - A preliminary fNIRS study (2024)
Journal Article

With the growing concern for the health of ageing populations, much research continues to look at the impact of cognitive training, particularly in relation to cognitive decline. We sought to use novel techniques, including augmented reality and port...

Benchmarking framework for machine learning classification from fNIRS data (2023)
Journal Article

Background: While efforts to establish best practices with functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) signal processing have been published, there are still no community standards for applying machine learning to fNIRS data. Moreover, the lack of... Read More about Benchmarking framework for machine learning classification from fNIRS data.

The future of manufacturing: Utopia or dystopia? (2022)
Journal Article

Digital manufacturing technologies (DMTs) have the potential to transform industry productivity, but their introduction into the workplace is often a complex process, requiring not only technical expertise but also an awareness of ethical and societa...

Perceptions of Cognitive Training Games and Assessment Technologies for Dementia: Acceptability Study with Patient and Public Involvement Workshops (2022)
Journal Article

Background: Cognitive training and assessment technologies offer the promise of dementia risk reduction and a more timely diagnosis of dementia, respectively. Cognitive training games may help reduce the lifetime risk of dementia by helping to build...

Workplace 4.0: Exploring the Implications of Technology Adoption in Digital Manufacturing on a Sustainable Workforce (2022)
Journal Article

As part of the Industry 4.0 movement, the introduction of digital manufacturing technologies (DMTs) poses various concerns, particularly the impact of technology adoption on the workforce. In consideration of adoption challenges and implications, var... Read More about Workplace 4.0: Exploring the Implications of Technology Adoption in Digital Manufacturing on a Sustainable Workforce.

Measuring Mental Workload Variations in Office Work Tasks using fNIRS (2020)
Journal Article

The motivation behind using physiological measures to estimate cognitive activity is typically to build technology that can help people to understand themselves and their work, or indeed for systems to do so and adapt. While functional Near Infrared... Read More about Measuring Mental Workload Variations in Office Work Tasks using fNIRS.

Contesting control: journeys through surrender, self-awareness and looseness of control in embodied interaction (2020)
Journal Article

As Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) engages with technologies that sense and actuate the body, there is a need to reconsider the human bodily experience. We present three case studies that each involve different forms of bodily experience: a breath-c... Read More about Contesting control: journeys through surrender, self-awareness and looseness of control in embodied interaction.

Physiological Indicators of Task Demand, Fatigue, and Cognition in Future Digital Manufacturing Environments (2020)
Journal Article

As Digital Manufacturing transforms traditionally physical work into more system-monitoring tasks, new methods are required for understanding people's mental workload and prolonged capacity for focused attention. Many physiological measures have... Read More about Physiological Indicators of Task Demand, Fatigue, and Cognition in Future Digital Manufacturing Environments.

Search tactics used in solving everyday how-to technical tasks: repertoire, selection and tenacity (2019)
Journal Article

With greater access to computational resources, people use search to address many everyday challenges in their lives, including solving technology problems. Although there are now many useful ‘how-to’ resources online (especially videos on YouTube),...

Workload Alerts—Using Physiological Measures of Mental Workload to Provide Feedback During Tasks (2018)
Journal Article

Feedback is valuable for allowing us to improve on tasks. While retrospective feedback can help us improve for next time, feedback “in action” can allow us to improve the outcome of on-going tasks. In this paper, we use data from functional Near Infr... Read More about Workload Alerts—Using Physiological Measures of Mental Workload to Provide Feedback During Tasks.

Generating vague neighbourhoods through data mining of passive web data (2017)
Journal Article

Neighbourhoods have been described as \the building blocks of public services society". Their subjective nature, however, and the resulting difficulties in collecting data, means that in many countries there are no officially defined neighbourhoods e...

Complex search task: how to make a phone safe for a child (2017)
Journal Article

There are many factors in task design that might make it ‘complex’: having multiple components, having multiple cross-dependent components, tasks that involve comparison, evaluation, estimation, or learning. In this paper, we discuss a case study of... Read More about Complex search task: how to make a phone safe for a child.
