Abstract: This work presents advances in research of emotions recognition by using facial expressions to be used in active security system focused in driver monitoring systems to provide efficient assistance through Advanced Driver Assistance Systems to drivers when poor driving performance is detected; researchers have called to this approach Advanced Driver Monitoring for Assistance Systems […]

Abstract: In this study, we conduct a Discrete Choice Experiment (DCE) using eye tracking technology to investigate if eye movements during the completion of choice sets reveal in-formation about respondents’ choice certainty. We hypothesise that the number of times that respondents shift their visual attention between the alternatives in a choice set reflects their stated […]

Abstract: In this study, we conduct a Stated Choice Experiment (SCE) using eye-tracking technology to investigate if eye movements during the completion of choice sets reveal information about response uncertainty. We hypothesise that the number of times a respondent’s eyes switch focus between the alternatives in a choice set reflects the respondent’s choice uncertainty. Based on […]

Abstract: People are sharing their opinions, stories and reviews through online video sharing websites every day. Studying sentiment and subjectivity in these opinion videos is experiencing a growing attention from academia and industry. While sentiment analysis has been successful for text, it is an understudied research question for videos and multimedia content. The biggest setbacks […]

Abstract: Advanced driver assistance systems require better knowledge of the driver’s state. This would allow for adapting driving support functions, e.g. adaptive automation. To detect the emotional and cognitive state of the driver, it is necessary to know which signals contain accurate information about the state. In this paper the results of a driving simulator […]

Abstract: This explorative eye tracking study investigates visual attention and perceptions of usability within eGovernment environments. We argue that such insights help in understanding users for better design of user Web experiences. In an initial test to identify areas of interest (AOI) on public sector websites, subjects (n = 8) were exposed to the start […]

Abstract:  This study is the first stage of a research program aimed at understanding differences in how people process 2D and 3D automotive stimuli, using psychophysiological tools such as galvanic skin response (GSR), eye tracking, electroencephalography (EEG), and facial expressions coding, along with respondent ratings. The current study uses just one measure, eye tracking, and […]

Abstract: 80 to 95 percent of all new product launches fail (Dillon, 2011; Copernicus Marketing, Consulting, and Research, 2013). However, businesses can increase the chances of a successful product launch by better understanding consumer preferences and wants. Research done by McKinsey and Company shows that “more than 80 percent of top performers periodically tested and […]

The effect of self-control on individual behavior has long been a subject of debate. The psychology literature has advanced three theories to explain self-control. However, those theories carry contradictory predictions as they were restricted to linear relationships between an initial act of self-control and subsequent self-control ability. This study uses biometric measures collected in a […]

Abstract: User-generated information types (ratings and reviews) are highly used when booking hotel rooms on Online Travel Agency (OTA) websites. The impact of user-generated information on decision-making is often investigated through quantitative research, thereby not examining in depth how and why travelers use this information. This paper therefore presents a qualitative study conducted to achieve […]
