How do attention and emotion drive donations in charitable crowdfunding? An empirical study of users’ cognitive and physiological responses to image content
Copenhagen Business School
Abstract: This study investigates the attentional and emotional impact of different image types in medical crowdfunding campaigns, and how these images impact donations. Building on signaling theory and evolutionary explanations for the drivers of altruism, we hypothesized that donors will be more likely to support campaigns with images that depict illness than campaigns with images […]

Measuring reactions to congestion in the digital era
The Hebrew University of Jerusalem + 1 more
Cities are experiencing accelerated growth in visitor numbers to the point of overcrowding, raising concerns about negative effects on both destinations and residents. Academic discourse on overtourism primarily addresses environmental damage, infrastructure overload, and resident dissatisfaction, often overlooking how tourists experience overcrowding. When examined, tourist experiences have predominantly been measured using subjective self-report tools such […]

Evaluation of bicyclist physiological response and visual attention in commercial vehicle loading zones
Oregon State University + 3 more
Introduction With growing freight operations throughout the world, there is a push for transportation systems to accommodate trucks during loading and unloading operations. Currently, many urban locations do not provide loading and unloading zones, which results in trucks parking in places that obstruct bicyclist’s roadway infrastructure (e.g., bicycle lanes). Method To understand the implications 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. […]

Archetypal physiological responses to prolonged wakefulness
Naval Submarine Medical Research Laboratory + 1 more
Acute sleep deprivation is a common workplace and lifestyle hazard known to affect physiological and cognitive performance. Previous research emphasizes the effect that sleep deprivation has on cognitive performance and often correlates changes in physiological parameters to measured performance. One potential problem with this approach is that there is some ambiguity about the true physiological […]

A Framework towards Quantifying Human Restorativeness in Virtual Built Environments
New York University
Abstract: The impact of built environment on the human restorativeness has long been argued; however, the interrelations between neuroscience and the built environment, and the degree to which the built environment contributes to increased human restorativeness has not been completely understood yet. Understanding the interrelations between neuroscience and the built environment is critical as 90% […]
