Exploring Machine Learning Approaches for Classifying Mental Workload using fNIRS Data from HCI Tasks (2019)
Conference Proceeding

Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) has shown promise for being potentially more suitable (than e.g. EEG) for brain-based Human Computer Interaction (HCI). While some machine learning approaches have been used in prior HCI work, this paper...

Improvising a Live Score to an Interactive Brain-Controlled Film (2019)
Conference Proceeding

We report on the design and deployment of systems for the performance of live score accompaniment to an interactive movie by a Networked Musical Ensemble. In this case, the audiovisual content of the movie is selected in real time based on user input... Read More about Improvising a Live Score to an Interactive Brain-Controlled Film.

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.

The Multi-Stage Experience: the Simulated Work Task Approach to Studying Information Seeking Stages (2019)
Conference Proceeding

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 (2019)
Conference Proceeding

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.

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),...

When size matters: Towards evaluating perceivability of choropleths (2018)
Conference Proceeding

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...

Brain activity and mental workload associated with artistic practice (2018)
Conference Proceeding

We present the first stage of our on-going artist-driven BCI collaboration, where we equipped an artist with the brain scanning technique functional Near Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) in order to record mental workload levels during her creative prac...

Mental workload as personal data: designing a cognitive activity tracker (2018)
Conference Proceeding

Research continues to correlate physical signals with mental activity, as opposed to physical activity, with physiological sensors. Further, with the proliferation of wearable technology, it seems imminent that our smart watches can soon keep track o...

#Scanners 2 – The MOMENT: a new brain-controlled movie (2018)
Conference Proceeding

While many still consider interactive movies an unrealistic idea, current delivery platforms like Netflix, commercial VR, and the proliferation of wearable sensors mean that adaptive and responsive entertainment experiences are an immediate reality....

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.

How stress affects functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) measurements of mental workload (2018)
Conference Proceeding

Recent work has demonstrated that functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy has the potential to measure changes in Mental Workload with increasing ecological validity. It is not clear, however, whether these measurements are affected by anxiety and stre...

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...
