The positive effect of blue luminescent pathways on urban park visitor’s affective states: A virtual reality online study measuring facial expressions and self-reports
The colour blue often elicits feelings of calmness and contentment, for which evidence has largely been provided in daytime settings. It is unclear whether pathways illuminated in blue, for example, in urban recreational park areas at night confers the same positive impact on night time park visitors. To tackle this open empirical question, we investigated […] -
Mental workload assessment by monitoring brain, heart, and eye with six biomedical modalities during six cognitive tasks
Introduction: The efficiency and safety of complex high precision human-machine systems such as in aerospace and robotic surgery are closely related to the cognitive readiness, ability to manage workload, and situational awareness of their operators. Accurate assessment of mental workload could help in preventing operator error and allow for pertinent intervention by predicting performance declines that […] -
Unlocking Human-Robot Dynamics: Introducing SenseCobot, a Novel Multimodal Dataset on Industry 4.0
In the era of Industry 4.0, the importance of human-robot collaboration (HRC) in the advancement of modern manufacturing and automation is paramount. Understanding the intricate physiological responses of the operator when they interact with a cobot is essential, especially during programming tasks. To this aim, wearable sensors have become vital for real-time monitoring of worker […] -
Fixation-related potentials during mobile map assisted navigation in the real world: The effect of landmark visualization style
An often-proposed enhancement for mobile maps to aid assisted navigation is the presentation of landmark information, yet understanding of the manner in which they should be displayed is limited. In this study, we investigated whether the visualization of landmarks as 3D map symbols with either an abstract or realistic style influenced the subsequent processing of […] -
Joy is reciprocally transmitted between teachers and students: Evidence on facial mimicry in the classroom
Background: The critical importance of positive emotions for classroom functioning is well established and teachers’ and learners’ trait-based joy during class has been shown to covary. This has been interpreted as evidence of emotional contagion across teachers and learners. However, no research to date seems to have explored in-situ processes of emotional contagion, thus the […] -
INVESTIGATING THE ROLE OF COGNITIVE FLEXIBILITY IN SHAPING TEACHER ENGAGEMENT IN A SIMULATED VIRTUAL CLASSROOM
The teaching process involves complex, multifaceted relationships. For this reason, teachers’ engagement in teaching can be shaped by factors such as the teacher’s goals, the conditions of the teaching environment, and the teacher’s cognitive characteristics. Determining the impact of these cognitive, subjective, and environmental conditions on teacher engagement, which reflects teachers’ performance, can provide useful […] -
Tracing emotional responses to nature-based tourism commercials and tagging individual sequences
Most tourism campaigns rely heavily on emotional appeals. Therefore, it is crucial to understand which video sequences elicit certain emotions to determine whether they are consistent with the targeted marketing objectives. In this study, we employ facial expression analysis to trace the emotional responses of participants watching a tourism destination commercial. Since previous studies did […] -
More Than One Way: Fifth-Graders’ Varied Digital Reading Behaviors and Comprehension Outcomes
Digital reading is ubiquitous, yet understanding digital reading processes and links to comprehension remains underdeveloped. Guided by new literacies and active reading theories, this study explored the reading behaviors and comprehension of thirteen fifth graders who read static digital texts. We coded for the quantity and quality of digital reading behaviors and employed action path […] -
UX assessment strategy to identify potential stressful conditions for workers
The European Commission defined the new concept of Industry 5.0 meaning a more human-centric, resilient, and sustainable approach for the design of industrial systems and operations. A deep understanding of the work environment and organization is important to start analysing the working conditions and the resulting User eXperience (UX) of the operators. Also, the knowledge […] -
Evaluation of Cyclist Galvanic Skin Response and Visual Attention in Commercial Vehicle Loading Zones
With growing freight operations throughout the world, there is a push for transportation systems to accommodate trucks during loading and unloading operations. Currently, many urban locations do not provide loading and unloading zones, which results in trucks parking in places that obstruct bicyclist’s roadway infrastructure (e.g., bicycle lanes). To understand the implications of these truck […]
