Designing musical soundtracks for Brain Controlled Interface (BCI) systems (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Ramchurn, R., Chamberlain, A., & Benford, S. (2018, September). Designing musical soundtracks for Brain Controlled Interface (BCI) systems. Presented at Audio Mostly 2018: a conference on interaction with sound

This paper presents research based on the creation and development of two Brain Controlled Interface (BCI) based film experiences. The focus of this research is primarily on the audio in the films; the way that the overall experiences were designed,...

Digital interventions to reduce sedentary behaviors of office workers: Scoping review (2018)
Journal Article
Huang, Y., Benford, S., & Blake, H. (2019). Digital interventions to reduce sedentary behaviors of office workers: Scoping review. Journal of Medical Internet Research, 21(2), Article e11079. https://doi.org/10.2196/11079

© Yitong Huang, Steve Benford, Holly Blake. Background: There is a clear public health need to reduce office workers’ sedentary behaviors (SBs), especially in the workplace. Digital technologies are increasingly being deployed in the workplace to mea... Read More about Digital interventions to reduce sedentary behaviors of office workers: Scoping review.

Discomfort—the dark side of fun (2018)
Book Chapter
Benford, S., Greenhalgh, C., Giannachi, G., Walker, B., Marshall, J., Tennent, P., & Rodden, T. (2018). Discomfort—the dark side of fun. In M. Blythe, & A. Monk (Eds.), Funology 2: from usability to enjoyment (209-224). Springer. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-68213-6_13

For many of us, the notion of ‘fun’ conjures up visions of experiences that are amusing, pleasant, entertaining, playful—perhaps even frivolous. Rides, games, shows and perhaps even the experience of visiting an art gallery can embody these senses of... Read More about Discomfort—the dark side of fun.

Enhancing supervised classifications with metamorphic relations (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Xu, L., Towey, D., French, A. P., Benford, S., Zhou, Z. Q., & Chen, T. Y. (2018, May). Enhancing supervised classifications with metamorphic relations. Presented at Proceedings of the 3rd International Workshop on Metamorphic Testing - MET '18

We report on a novel use of metamorphic relations (MRs) in machine learning: instead of conducting metamorphic testing, we use MRs for the augmentation of the machine learning algorithms themselves. In particular, we report on how MRs can enable enha... Read More about Enhancing supervised classifications with metamorphic relations.

Sensibility, narcissism and affect: using immersive practices in design for embodied experience (2018)
Journal Article
Spence, J., & Benford, S. (2018). Sensibility, narcissism and affect: using immersive practices in design for embodied experience. Multimodal Technologies and Interaction, 2(2), Article 15. https://doi.org/10.3390/mti2020015

‘Embodiment’ need not focus on isolated individuals or group interactions. This article articulates the potential for designs that prompt participants to bring relationships with other people to mind. These can be fleeting relationships between parti...
