Mental workload as personal data: designing a cognitive activity tracker (2018)
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/10.1145/3170427.3170665Research 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...

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/10.1145/3173380Feedback 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...

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/10.1145/3170427.3188646Recent 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...
