The Tetris model of resolving information needs within the information seeking process (2017)
Conference Proceeding
Wilson, M. L. (2017). The Tetris model of resolving information needs within the information seeking process.

Theoretical abstractions, of many different aspects of search, have played a crucial role in driving research into human information seeking and retrieval forward. From models of the Information Seeking Process, to how we perceive search systems, the... Read More about The Tetris model of resolving information needs within the information seeking process.

Search literacy: learning to search to learn (2016)
Conference Proceeding
Wilson, M. L., Ye, C., Twidale, M. B., Grasse, H., Rosenthal, J., & McKittrick, M. (2016). Search literacy: learning to search to learn.

People can often find themselves out of their depth when they face knowledge-based problems, such as faulty technology, or medical concerns. This can also happen in everyday domains that users are simply inexperienced with, like cooking. These are co... Read More about Search literacy: learning to search to learn.

#Scanners: Exploring the Control of Adaptive Films using Brain-Computer Interaction (2016)
Conference Proceeding
Pike, M., Ramchurn, R., Benford, S., & Wilson, M. L. (2016). #Scanners: Exploring the Control of Adaptive Films using Brain-Computer Interaction. . https://doi.org/10.1145/2858036.2858276

This paper explores the design space of bio-responsive entertainment, in this case using a film that responds to the brain and blink data of users. A film was created with four parallel channels of footage, where blinking and levels of attention and...

Using fNIRS in usability testing: understanding the effect of web form layout on mental workload (2016)
Conference Proceeding
Lukanov, K. E., Maior, H. A., & Wilson, M. L. (2016). Using fNIRS in usability testing: understanding the effect of web form layout on mental workload.

Amongst the many tasks in our lives, we encounter web forms on a regular basis, whether they are mundane like registering for a website, or complex and important like tax returns. There are many aspects of Usability, but one concern for user interfac... Read More about Using fNIRS in usability testing: understanding the effect of web form layout on mental workload.

Active and passive utility of search interface features in different information seeking task stages (2016)
Conference Proceeding
Huurdeman, H. C., Wilson, M. L., & Kamps, J. (2016). Active and passive utility of search interface features in different information seeking task stages.

Models of information seeking, including Kuhlthau’s information Search Process model, describe fundamentally different macro-level stages. Current search systems usually do not provide support for these stages, but provide a static set of features pr...

Exploring opportunities to facilitate serendipity in search (2015)
Conference Proceeding
Rahman, M. A., & Wilson, M. L. (2015). Exploring opportunities to facilitate serendipity in search.

Serendipitously discovering new information can bring many benefits. Although we can design systems to highlight serendipitous information, serendipity cannot be easily orchestrated and is thus hard to study. In this paper, we deployed a working sear...

#Scanners: integrating physiology into cinematic experiences (2015)
Conference Proceeding
Pike, M., Ramchurn, R., & Wilson, M. L. (2015). #Scanners: integrating physiology into cinematic experiences.

In this paper we present #Scanners, a digital arts installation that aims to bridge the gap between digital arts and neuroscience. #Scanners is an experience in which an individual wears a wireless brain scanners whilst being presented media which is...

Run spot run: capturing and tagging footage of a race by crowds of spectators (2015)
Conference Proceeding
Flintham, M. D., Velt, R., Wilson, M. L., Anstead, E. J., Benford, S., Brown, A., …Sprinks, J. (2015). Run spot run: capturing and tagging footage of a race by crowds of spectators. In CHI '15: Proceedings of the 33rd Annual ACM Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (747-756). https://doi.org/10.1145/2702123.2702463

There has been a massive growth in the number of people who film and upload amateur footage of events to services such as Facebook and Youtube, or even stream live to services such as LiveStream. We present an exploratory study that investigates the... Read More about Run spot run: capturing and tagging footage of a race by crowds of spectators.

Examining the reliability of using fNIRS in realistic HCI settings for spatial and verbal tasks (2015)
Conference Proceeding
Maior, H. A., Pike, M., Sharples, S., & Wilson, M. L. (2015). Examining the reliability of using fNIRS in realistic HCI settings for spatial and verbal tasks.

Recent efforts have shown that functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) has potential value for brain sensing in HCI user studies. Research has shown that, although large head movement significantly affects fNIRS data, typical keyboard use, mous...

Finding information about mental health in microblogging platforms: a case study of depression (2014)
Conference Proceeding
Wilson, M. L., Ali, S. A., & Valstar, M. F. (2014). Finding information about mental health in microblogging platforms: a case study of depression. In IIiX '14 Proceedings of the 5th Information Interaction in Context Symposium. https://doi.org/10.1145/2637002.2637006

Searching for online health information has been well studied in web search, but social media, such as public microblogging services, are well known for different types of tacit information: personal experience and shared information. Finding useful... Read More about Finding information about mental health in microblogging platforms: a case study of depression.

A user defined taxonomy of factors that divide online information retrieval sessions (2014)
Conference Proceeding
Ye, C., & Wilson, M. L. (2014). A user defined taxonomy of factors that divide online information retrieval sessions.

Although research is increasingly interested in session-based retrieval, comparably little work has focused on how best to divide web histories into sessions. Most automated attempts to divide web histories into sessions have focused on dividing web... Read More about A user defined taxonomy of factors that divide online information retrieval sessions.
