#Scanners: Exploring the Control of Adaptive Films using Brain-Computer Interaction (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Pike, M., Ramchurn, R., Benford, S., & Wilson, M. L. (2016, May). #Scanners: Exploring the Control of Adaptive Films using Brain-Computer Interaction. Presented at CHI'16: CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems, San Jose, California, USA

This paper explores the design space of bio-responsive entertainment, in this case using a film that responds to the brain and blink data of users. A film was created with four parallel channels of footage, where blinking and levels of attention and...

Active and passive utility of search interface features in different information seeking task stages (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Huurdeman, H. C., Wilson, M. L., & Kamps, J. (2016). Active and passive utility of search interface features in different information seeking task stages.

Models of information seeking, including Kuhlthau’s information Search Process model, describe fundamentally different macro-level stages. Current search systems usually do not provide support for these stages, but provide a static set of features pr...

Using fNIRS in usability testing: understanding the effect of web form layout on mental workload (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Lukanov, K. E., Maior, H. A., & Wilson, M. L. (2016). Using fNIRS in usability testing: understanding the effect of web form layout on mental workload.

Amongst the many tasks in our lives, we encounter web forms on a regular basis, whether they are mundane like registering for a website, or complex and important like tax returns. There are many aspects of Usability, but one concern for user interfac... Read More about Using fNIRS in usability testing: understanding the effect of web form layout on mental workload.

Exploring opportunities to facilitate serendipity in search (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Rahman, M. A., & Wilson, M. L. (2015). Exploring opportunities to facilitate serendipity in search.

Serendipitously discovering new information can bring many benefits. Although we can design systems to highlight serendipitous information, serendipity cannot be easily orchestrated and is thus hard to study. In this paper, we deployed a working sear...

#Scanners: integrating physiology into cinematic experiences (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Pike, M., Ramchurn, R., & Wilson, M. L. (2015). #Scanners: integrating physiology into cinematic experiences.

In this paper we present #Scanners, a digital arts installation that aims to bridge the gap between digital arts and neuroscience. #Scanners is an experience in which an individual wears a wireless brain scanners whilst being presented media which is...

Examining the reliability of using fNIRS in realistic HCI settings for spatial and verbal tasks (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Maior, H. A., Pike, M., Sharples, S., & Wilson, M. L. (2015). Examining the reliability of using fNIRS in realistic HCI settings for spatial and verbal tasks.

Recent efforts have shown that functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) has potential value for brain sensing in HCI user studies. Research has shown that, although large head movement significantly affects fNIRS data, typical keyboard use, mous...

Two-way Affect Loops in multimedia experiences (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Pike, M., Ramchurn, R., & Wilson, M. L. (2015). Two-way Affect Loops in multimedia experiences.

A users interaction with a film typically involves a One Way Affect (1WA), in which the film being consumed has an affect on the consumer. Recent advances in physiological monitoring technology however has facilitated the notion of a Two Way Affect L... Read More about Two-way Affect Loops in multimedia experiences.

Finding information about mental health in microblogging platforms: a case study of depression (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Wilson, M. L., Ali, S. A., & Valstar, M. F. (2014). Finding information about mental health in microblogging platforms: a case study of depression. In IIiX '14 Proceedings of the 5th Information Interaction in Context Symposium. https://doi.org/10.1145/2637002.2637006

Searching for online health information has been well studied in web search, but social media, such as public microblogging services, are well known for different types of tacit information: personal experience and shared information. Finding useful... Read More about Finding information about mental health in microblogging platforms: a case study of depression.

A user defined taxonomy of factors that divide online information retrieval sessions (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Ye, C., & Wilson, M. L. (2014). A user defined taxonomy of factors that divide online information retrieval sessions.

Although research is increasingly interested in session-based retrieval, comparably little work has focused on how best to divide web histories into sessions. Most automated attempts to divide web histories into sessions have focused on dividing web... Read More about A user defined taxonomy of factors that divide online information retrieval sessions.

More than Liking and Bookmarking? Towards Understanding Twitter Favouriting Behaviour (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Meier, F., Elsweiler, D., & Wilson, M. L. (2014). More than Liking and Bookmarking? Towards Understanding Twitter Favouriting Behaviour. In Proceedings of the Eighth International Conference on Webligs and Social media (346-355)

Microblogging services, such as Twitter, offer a variety of interactive features that allow users to engage with contacts in their social network and the content they produce. One such feature is the favourite button on Twitter, an icon in the form o... Read More about More than Liking and Bookmarking? Towards Understanding Twitter Favouriting Behaviour.

A data driven approach to mapping urban neighbourhoods (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Brindley, P., Goulding, J., & Wilson, M. L. (2014). A data driven approach to mapping urban neighbourhoods.

Neighbourhoods have been described by the UK Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government as the “building blocks of public service society”. Despite this, difficulties in data collection combined with the concept’s subjective nature have... Read More about A data driven approach to mapping urban neighbourhoods.
