How Stress and Mental Workload are Connected
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Alsuraykh, N. H., Wilson, M. L., Tennent, P., & Sharples, S. (2019, May). How Stress and Mental Workload are Connected. Presented at PervasiveHealth'19: The 13th International Conference on Pervasive Computing Technologies for Healthcare, Trento, Italy

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.

The Multi-Stage Experience: the Simulated Work Task Approach to Studying Information Seeking Stages
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Huurdeman, H., Kamps, J., & Wilson, M. L. (2019, March). The Multi-Stage Experience: the Simulated Work Task Approach to Studying Information Seeking Stages. Presented at Barriers to Interactive IR Resources Re-use 2019, Glasgow, UK

This experience paper shines more light on a simulated work task approach to studying information seeking stages. This explicit multistage approach was first utilized in Huurdeman, Wilson, and Kamps [14] to investigate the utility of search user inte...

Enslaved to the Trapped Data: A Cognitive Work Analysis of Medical Systematic Reviews
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Knight, I. A., Wilson, M. L., Brailsford, D. F., & Milic-Frayling, N. (2019, March). Enslaved to the Trapped Data: A Cognitive Work Analysis of Medical Systematic Reviews. Presented at CHIIR '19: Conference on Human Information Interaction and Retrieval, Glasgow, Scotland, UK

Systematic reviews are a comprehensive and parameterised form of literature review, found in most disciplines, that involve exhaustive analyses and rigorous interpretation of prior literature. Performing systematic reviews, however, can involve repet... Read More about Enslaved to the Trapped Data: A Cognitive Work Analysis of Medical Systematic Reviews.

From Director's Cut to User's Cut: to Watch a Brain-Controlled Film is to Edit it
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Ramchurn, R., Martindale, S., Wilson, M. L., & Benford, S. (2019, May). From Director's Cut to User's Cut: to Watch a Brain-Controlled Film is to Edit it. Presented at CHI '19: CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems, Glasgow, Scotland, UK

© 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.

When size matters: Towards evaluating perceivability of choropleths
Presentation / Conference Contribution
McNabb, L., Laramee, R. S., & Wilson, M. L. (2018, September). When size matters: Towards evaluating perceivability of choropleths. Presented at Computer Graphics and Visual Computing, CGVC 2018, Swansea, UK

Choropleth maps are an invaluable visualization type for mapping geo-spatial data. One advantage to a choropleth map over other geospatial visualizations such as cartograms is the familiarity of a non-distorted landmass. However, this causes challeng...
