A revised framework for the assessment of psychological safety in autonomous vehicles
Despite recent technological progress in the development of autonomous vehicles (AVs), their societal acceptability remains a subject of debate as recent research findings point to psychological roadblocks. Concerns arise not only for physical safety but also for potential psychological risks resulting from human interaction with AVs. Psychological concepts such as trust, and perceived safety are […]

TriSaFe-Trans: A Safety-Aware Multimodal Intent Recognition Pipeline for Assistive Robotics
Saint Louis University
Abstract: Safe intent recognition for assistive robots remains challenging when integrating neural, muscular, and gaze signals, particularly under sensor degradation or failure. We propose TriSaFe-Trans, a lightweight tri-modal transformer that fuses electroencephalography (EEG), electromyography (EMG), and eye-tracking (ET) data via modality-specific temporal convolutional networks (TCNs) and bidirectional gated recurrent units (BiGRUs), combined with reliability-gated cross-modal […]

Easy as Pie, or Tasty as One? Effects of Taste and Convenience Cues in Instagram Dessert Recipe Videos on Emotional and Cognitive Processing, Memory, and Intentions
Maastricht University, School of Business and Economics + 4 more
Instagram's popular recipe videos showcase prominent cues, like taste and convenience, persuading viewers – particularly emerging adults (18-25) – to make the recipes. While hedonic taste cues trigger automatic appetitive responses, the processing of utilitarian convenience cues remains unclear. A within-subjects repeated-measures experiment with Instagram dessert recipe videos emphasizing taste , convenience , or both […]

The Body Knows What the Mind Does Not: Uncertainty Affects Physiological Markers of Deception
University of Turin + 4 more
Abstract: Humans, as social beings, may choose to be either truthful or deceptive to achieve personal benefits. Although deception and truth-telling are distinct, both rely on an individual’s certainty about the world, shaping responses associated with honesty or lying. However, our surrounding environment is often characterized by a lack of certainty, and little is known […]

COBOT – ASSISTED REHABILITATION: REDUCING WORK-RELATED MUSCULOSKELETAL DISORDER (WMSD) RISK ON PHYSIOTHERAPISTS
Universiti Sains Malaysia
Recent studies report that 40% to 90% of physiotherapists globally experience WMSDs due to repetitive movements and poor postures during manual rehabilitation therapy. This study aims to evaluate the potential effectiveness of collaborative robot (cobots) in reducing ergonomic risks and preventing WMSDs among physiotherapists. Seven male participants, acting as simulated physiotherapists recruited through convenience sampling […]

Determinants of Decision Making in Novice and Elite Soccer Goalkeepers
Opole University of Technology
Eye tracking and EMG are novel measurement technologies that can be used to assess perceptual processes in sports under real-life conditions. The study was conducted on two groups of soccer goalkeepers (N = 60): Group A—expert goalkeepers (22.8 ± 2.15 years of age; training experience 12.77 ± 3.89 years); Group B—novice goalkeepers (15.70 ± 1.12 […]

Modeling Students’ Emotions in Computing Education: A Context-Specific Multi-Modal Approach
The Ohio State University
Emotions are context-specific and unfold dynamically during tasks such as programming. However, most emotion recognition systems are built using generic data and often overlook contextual nuances. This dissertation bridges affective computing and computing education by developing a context-specific, multi-modal dataset that integrates physiological, behavioral, and self-report data from programming students. Building on this dataset, I […]

Unlocking Human-Robot Dynamics: Introducing SenseCobot, a Novel Multimodal Dataset on Industry 4.0
University of Modena and Reggio Emilia + 1 more
In the era of Industry 4.0, the importance of human-robot collaboration (HRC) in the advancement of modern manufacturing and automation is paramount. Understanding the intricate physiological responses of the operator when they interact with a cobot is essential, especially during programming tasks. To this aim, wearable sensors have become vital for real-time monitoring of worker […]

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 Effects of “Media Tech Neck”: The Impact of Spinal Flexion on Cognitive and Emotional Processing of Videos
University of Southern Denmark + 3 more
Adoption of mobile devices (e.g., smart phones and tablets) has popularized a neck-down posture during media consumption that is different from the traditional upright body posture for video viewing. A neck-down posture exerts substantial pressure upon the spine, and this posture has been previously linked to psychological effects. This study advances the literature by studying […]
