User Interaction with Digital Twins for Driving: How Comparable Are Simulated and Real Trajectories?
University of Applied Sciences Hof + 4 more
Abstract This paper investigates the physiological responses of individuals driving both on a real route and within a vehicle simulator designed as a digital twin of that route. The analysis of observed data patterns in stress response bio signals provides sufficient evidence of similarity to validating the driving simulation digital twin as a reliable replacement […]

Wired for Performance: Using Wearable Physiological Sensors to Decode Cognitive Load in Healthcare Simulation
South Dakota State University
This article explores the feasibility of integrating wearable physiological sensors into high-fidelity healthcare simulation to monitor cognitive load and fatigue. Using electrocardiogram (ECG) and galvanic skin response (GSR) sensors, we captured real-time physiological data from nursing students engaged in both virtual and manikin-based simulation scenarios. Signal processing confirmed data quality, and preliminary findings demonstrated that […]

Pupil contagion variation with gaze, arousal, and autistic traits
University of Gothenburg
Pupillary contagion occurs when one’s pupil size unconsciously adapts to the pupil size of an observed individual and is presumed to reflect the transfer of arousal. Importantly, when estimating pupil contagion, low level stimuli properties need to be controlled for, to ensure that observations of pupillary changes are due to internal change in arousal rather […]

The Psychophysiological Interrelationship between Working Conditions and Stress of Harvester and Forwarder Drivers – a Study Protocol
Paracelsus Medical University + 2 more
(1) Background: The proportion of fully mechanized harvesting systems in Austria is constantly increasing especially because of the technological development of the machines, which allows them to drive on increasingly steep terrain. This leads to additional challenges and potential hazards for the operators, which may also cause higher stress levels. The purpose of this study […]

A Neurophysiological Approach for Measuring Presence in Immersive Virtual Environments
University of Queensland
Presence, the feeling of being there, is an important factor that affects the overall experience of Virtual Reality (VR). Higher presence commonly provides a better experience in VR than lower presence. However, presence is commonly measured subjectively through postexperience questionnaires, which can suffer from participant biases, dishonest answers, and fatigue. It can also be difficult […]

Effect of changing threat conditions on police and military commanders’ preferences for urgent and offensive actions: An analysis of decision making at the operational level of war
Royal Norwegian Naval Academy + 2 more
A simulation was conducted to examine the decision making of 102 high-ranking police and military commanders (male/female = 88/12, mean years of employment = 22.15) engaged in a simulated hybrid attack on Norway. Four 2 × 3 repeated-measures ANOVA tests were performed, with two groups (police, military) and three phases (peace, war, and post-conflict) as independent variables. The decision tasks of […]

Systematic Evaluation of Driver’s Behavior: A Multimodal Biometric Study
University of Padua + 1 more
Abstract Complex traffic areas and high cognitive workload while driving are leading contributors to traffic crashes. Even though cognitive workload and stress have been previously assessed through various neurophysiological responses, they are rarely characterized simultaneously, limiting the triangulation of behavioral metrics (like drivers’ visual attention and facial coding) with physiological measures to investigate their interplay. […]

The Process of Creating Interactive 360-Degree VR with Biofeedback
University of Southern Denmark
The paper aims to demonstrate the interconnectedness of filmmaking techniques and iterative software design methods during the creation of interactive 360-degree Virtual Reality (VR) scenarios. These scenarios, which were designed to treat social anxiety disorder (SAD), comprised of six distinct simulations. To track patients’ biodata, biosensors were integrated with the developed scenarios. In the paper, […]

Granting a Better Verdict of the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) With New Technologies
Tecnologico de Monterrey
There are millions of people in the world who have been diagnosed with dementia and this condition not only directly affects the patient, but also their family members and caregivers; That is why it is sought to have a verdict in which it can be reliably seen if a person suffers from dementia. The way […]

Multimodal Approach to Measuring Cognitive Load Using Sternberg Memory and Input Diagrammatic Reasoning Tests
Wrocław University of Science and Technology
Results of a study of cognitive load using multimodal biometric techniques including electrocardiography, electroencephalography and galvanic skin response are presented in the paper. Thirty student volunteers took part in an experiment conducted on the iMotions integrated biometric platform in a laboratory setting. Two types of tests were employed as research stimuli, namely the Sternberg memory […]
