Journal Article
Landowska, A., Wilson, M. L., Craven, M. P., & Harrington, K. (2024). Adaptative computerized cognitive training decreases mental workload during working memory precision task - A preliminary fNIRS study. International Journal of Human-Computer Studies, 184, Article 103206. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijhcs.2023.103206

With the growing concern for the health of ageing populations, much research continues to look at the impact of cognitive training, particularly in relation to cognitive decline. We sought to use novel techniques, including augmented reality and port...

Perceptions of Cognitive Training Games and Assessment Technologies for Dementia: Acceptability Study with Patient and Public Involvement Workshops (2022)
Journal Article
Harrington, K., Craven, M. P., Wilson, M. L., & Landowska, A. (2022). Perceptions of Cognitive Training Games and Assessment Technologies for Dementia: Acceptability Study with Patient and Public Involvement Workshops. JMIR Serious Games, 10(2), Article e32489. https://doi.org/10.2196/32489

Background: Cognitive training and assessment technologies offer the promise of dementia risk reduction and a more timely diagnosis of dementia, respectively. Cognitive training games may help reduce the lifetime risk of dementia by helping to build...

Physiological Indicators of Task Demand, Fatigue, and Cognition in Future Digital Manufacturing Environments (2020)
Journal Article
Argyle, E. M., Marinescu, A., Wilson, M. L., Lawson, G., & Sharples, S. (2021). Physiological Indicators of Task Demand, Fatigue, and Cognition in Future Digital Manufacturing Environments. International Journal of Human-Computer Studies, 145, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijhcs.2020.102522

As Digital Manufacturing transforms traditionally physical work into more system-monitoring tasks, new methods are required for understanding people's mental workload and prolonged capacity for focused attention. Many physiological measures have... Read More about Physiological Indicators of Task Demand, Fatigue, and Cognition in Future Digital Manufacturing Environments.

Workload Alerts—Using Physiological Measures of Mental Workload to Provide Feedback During Tasks (2018)
Journal Article
Maior, H. A., Wilson, M. L., & Sharples, S. (2018). Workload Alerts—Using Physiological Measures of Mental Workload to Provide Feedback During Tasks. ACM Transactions on Computer-Human Interaction, 25(2), 1-30. https://doi.org/10.1145/3173380

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.
