Conference Proceeding
Wilson, M. L., Sharon, N., Maior, H. A., Midha, S., Craven, M. P., & Sharples, S. (2018). Mental workload as personal data: designing a cognitive activity tracker. In CHI EA '18 Extended Abstracts of the 2018 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems. https://doi.org/10.1145/3170427.3170665

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...

© 2018 Copyright is held by the owner/author(s). Voice User Interfaces (VUIs) are becoming ubiquitously available, being embedded both into everyday mobility via smartphones, and into the life of the home via 'assistant' devices. Yet, exactly how use... Read More about Voice Interfaces in Everyday Life.

How stress affects functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) measurements of mental workload (2018)
Conference Proceeding
Alsuraykh, N. H., Maior, H. A., Wilson, M. L., Tennent, P., & Sharples, S. (2018). How stress affects functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) measurements of mental workload. In CHI EA '18 Extended Abstracts of the 2018 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems. https://doi.org/10.1145/3170427.3188646

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...
