Behavioral accounting examines how individuals interpret accounting information and how cognitive and emotional factors affect decision-making. An experiment with 43 participants, including accounting experts and students, was conducted to examine differences in the evaluation of financial data. Eyetracking, facial expression analysis, and biosensors were used to record visual attention and emotional responses during accounting tasks. […]

Facially Expressive People are More Popular in Newly Formed Groups: A Social Network Analysis
Nottingham Trent University
Abstract Facial expression has been proposed as a key mechanism in forming and maintaining social relationships. Humans have particularly expressive faces, but direct evidence linking individual level expressivity to group-level social bonding is limited. Here we examined whether spontaneous facial expressivity impacts social popularity during initial group formation. Participants (72 groups, N = 256) engaged […]

Neurocommunication of Built Heritage
Complutense University of Madrid
Pilot in situ mobile eye‑tracking assessed visual attention to Gaudí’s Episcopal Palace (Astorga). Twenty‑eight participants freely viewed the chapel (n=14) or main façade (n=14) for 15 s. AOIs were delineated (18 chapel; 15 façade) on scene images; iMotions exported AOI coverage, TTFF, dwell time, fixation and revisit measures, supported by heatmaps. The chapel showed a […]

Designing for Understanding: How Interface-Level Consent Designs Shape Attention and Understanding in Privacy Disclosures
University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign
Privacy policies are intended to support informed consent, yet users rarely read them fully. This study examines how common privacy policy interface structures influence attention allocation, reading behavior, and perceived experience. Using eye-tracking and post-task surveys, we compared three interface designs: continuous scrolling text, collapsible sections, and collapsible sections with brief previews. Results show that […]

Cardiff University + 1 more
Mothers are rich sources of emotional information for children. Childhood emotional and behavioral problems have been associated with maternal anxiety, depression, Expressed Emotion (EE), and facial expressivity. However, no study has examined these factors together. The current study adopted a multimodal approach to assess how the maternal emotional environment relates to severity of internalizing and […]

Comparative analysis of the functionalities of applications supporting the self-control process of anticoagulation therapy
Lublin University of Technology
The effectiveness of self-monitoring in anticoagulation therapy often depends on the quality of mobile applications used by patients. This paper presents a comparison of four such apps to determine how their design impacts practical usability. The analysis combined an eye-tracking study with 15 users to evaluate interface intuitiveness, technical performance tests (CPU/RAM usage), and an […]

Assessing urban curbside parking for commercial vehicles: simulation and policy insights
Abstract As e-commerce and urban deliveries spike, there is an increasing demand for curbside loading/unloading space. However, commercial vehicle drivers face numerous challenges while navigating dense urban road networks. These challenges can lead to conflicts with other road users, congestion, illegal parking, and parking time violations. While existing research often highlights pedestrian and bicyclist safety […]
