Children’s affect: Automated coding, context effects, relations with maternal affect, and heritability
Arizona State University
Abstract This study examined genetic and environmental influences on twins’ and parents’ positive and negative affect during a parent–child conflict discussion and a positive discussion, captured by automated facial coding. Associations with internalizing, externalizing, and ADHD symptoms were examined. Twins (N = 560 50.94%; female; Mage = 9.72, SD = .94; data collected 2017–2020) and parents (N = 302; 583 videos) were […]

Even Better than the Real Thing: How Imperfection Shapes Trust and Engagement with Digital Humans
University of Sydney + 2 more
This study challenges the assumption that more realism in digital humans always leads to greater trust and engagement. Using eye-tracking and postexposure surveys, we compared viewer responses to three video presenters: a highly realistic digital human, a real human, and an imperfect altered human, represented by a real presenter altered to have unblinking eye contact. […]

Real-time Facial Communication Restores Cooperation After Defection in Social Dilemmas
New York University Abu Dhabi
Facial expressions are central to human interaction, yet their role in strategic decision-making has received limited attention. We investigate how real-time facial communication influences cooperation in repeated social dilemmas. In a laboratory experiment, participants play a repeated Prisoner’s Dilemma game under two conditions: in one, they observe their counterpart’s facial expressions via genderneutral avatars, and […]

Websites accessibility assessment of voivodeship cities in Poland
Lublin University of Technology
The aim of this study is to assess the accessibility of the websites of provincial capitals in Poland. The experiment consisted of an automated survey using five tools and an eye-tracking experiment with 15 participants. Analysis of the resultsshowed that sites with elements without contrast errors are easier to locate, which translates into shorter time […]

Brain Interfacing, as a Key for Improving Human–technology Integration, Cases and Implementations
Tecnologico de Monterrey
The rapid evolution of global interconnection systems has catalyzed a paradigm shift in which the convergence of human cognition and technology is no longer a distant vision, but a tangible research priority. This integration offers unprecedented opportunities to enhance human comfort, extend capabilities, and improve safety in daily life. While current electroencephalogram (EEG) hardware presents […]

Developing an AI-driven multimodal approach to visualising resilient team performance: joint attentional engagement with gaze and speech in simulated emergency scenarios
Yokohama City University Medical Center + 1 more
Introduction Healthcare team performance directly impacts the quality and safety of medical care. However, measuring the performance of teams is challenging and requires methodologies to investigate different contributing elements. This study proposes an AI(artificial intelligence)-driven multimodal approach to visualising gaze (ie, joint visual attention) and speech in medical team performance and examines how these might differ […]

Eye Tracking Characterization of Algebraic Fraction Simplifications
Universidad Panamericana
Several major studies require that students understand and master the concepts and procedures of mathematics. More specifically, an area of mathematics such as algebra requires students to be able to simplify, operate with, or solve fractions. Many students entering university show numerous shortcomings and errors, especially when simplifying algebraic fractions. This is why we conducted […]

Innovators and transformers – filling the void: informing operations management research and practice by applied neuroscience
Politecnico di Milano + 2 more
Purpose Historically, operations management research and practice have largely overlooked the variability among individual workers, often treating them as interchangeable components. This paper explores the potential benefits of incorporating neurobiological response monitoring to advance human-centric approaches in these domains. Design/methodology/approach Drawing on existing evidence of using neurobiological responses to study human factors, this study identified […]

Eyes on Prevention: An Eye-Tracking Analysis of Visual Attention Patterns in Breast Cancer Screening Ads
Democritus University of Thrace + 2 more
Strong communication is central to the translation of breast cancer screening availability into uptake. This experiment tests the role of design features of screening advertisements in directing visual attention in screening-eligible women (≥40 years). To this end, a within-subjects eye-tracking experiment (N = 30) was conducted in which women viewed six static public service advertisements. […]
