Purpose Rapid Automatized Naming (RAN) tasks are widely used to assess processing speed and automaticity, both of which are crucial for fluent reading and academic achievement. However, university students with learning disabilities (LD) often experience difficulties in these tasks, particularly under increased cognitive demands. To better understand the underlying visual and cognitive processes, this study […]

This protocol describes an exploratory, laboratory-based eye‑tracking study that examines how viewers in Poland and Portugal search for and encounter European works in Netflix and Amazon Prime Video catalogues under the AVMSD prominence obligation. It focuses on small and medium‑sized European film ecosystems and treats discoverability not only as a technical issue, but as a […]

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 […]

BACKGROUND: Numerous studies have explored the possibility of developing automatic detection pipelines that can seamlessly diagnose patients with bipolar disorder (BD) and other mental illnesses. Such novel diagnostic tools increasingly rely on data sources, such as facial movements, whose relationships to BD have yet to be fully elucidated. As such, these detection pipelines offer limited […]

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 […]

AbstractThe integration of artificial intelligence (AI) for multimodal data analysis has enabled deep learning models to analyze students’ facial expressions for emotion recognition in classroom settings. However, collecting facial data from minors raises substantial privacy and ethical concerns, necessitating privacy-preserving deidentification techniques that retain affective information. Existing methods primarily target identity suppression but often fail […]

Abstract Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is characterized by pervasive emotional vulnerability, yet the biological mechanisms underlying exaggerated reactivity, heightened sensitivity, and delayed recovery remain insufficiently understood. Building on evidence of alterations in autonomic and interoceptive processing in BPD, we introduce the Interoceptive Threshold Model, which proposes that emotional vulnerability reflects a lowered threshold for detecting […]

Abstract Background Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD) is a prevalent and impairing condition that is often underdiagnosed and undertreated, leading to chronic symptoms and comorbidities. Identifying objective behavioral markers is critical for improving early detection. Aberrant visual attention such as gaze avoidance and hyperscanning have been proposed as key mechanisms underlying SAD, yet findings from traditional […]

This study evaluates how different alert conditions influence driver attention transitions under conditions of visual distraction using sequence analysis. Employing a within-subject experimental design, 13 participants underwent trials in a driving simulator, experiencing three distinct alert conditions: face-tracking auditory alerts, steering wheel auditory torque alerts, and a control scenario without alerts. An eye-tracking system was […]

Objectives: This study examines the perceived effectiveness of bystander intervention in sexual harassment using virtual reality. Methods: A 2×3 factorial design compared two vignette presentation methods (VR vs. written scenarios) across three intervention conditions (direct, indirect, no intervention). The sample comprised 160 participants from a UK university. Outcome measures included self-report questionnaires capturing perception and […]
