Cognitive Flexibility and Grid Operator Performance Under Cyber-Physical Threats
ABSTRACT Sophisticated cyber-physical threats are often complex and unpredictable, making them difficult for grid operators to accurately detect and quickly mitigate. Responding to these threats demands cognitive flexibility, where operators can adapt behavior and decision-making in response to changing circumstances beyond routine operating conditions. This paper investigates cognitive flexibility and operator performance through a two-stage […]

Clinical applications of wearable devices for individuals with at‐risk substance use and substance use disorders: A systematic review
Centre for Addiction and Mental Health + 5 more
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Managing substance use disorders (SUDs) is limited by the lack of longitudinal clinical data during active use and recovery. Wearable devices may help address this gap by capturing physiological and behavioral data in real-world settings. This review evaluated the feasibility and acceptability of wearable devices among individuals with SUDs. METHODS: A systematic […]

Identifying Informative Psychophysiological and Gaze-Based Indicators for Inferring Human Cognition During Automated Driving: An Information-Theoretic Approach
Abstract We present an information-theoretic framework for identifying which physiological and eye-gaze-based indicators, and at what temporal scales, are most informative of cognition-related reliance behavior during conditionally automated (SAE Level 3) driving. We analyze data collected from an in-person driving simulator study in which participants interact with a conditionally automated vehicle in a single continuous […]

How Multimodal Self-Disclosure Shapes Emotional Engagement and Cognitive Load: An Exploratory Physiological Study
University of Florida + 3 more
Abstract Multimodal interfaces increasingly incorporate social cues, such as self-disclosure, to enhance user engagement. However, how modality and disclosure depth shape users’ emotional and cognitive responses remains unclear. This exploratory study examines self-disclosure presented through text and voice across four conditions varying in modality and disclosure level. Physiological responses were measured as indicators of emotional […]

An Attention-Based Cross-Modal Physiological Signal Fusion for Assessing Virtual Reality Motion Sickness
University of Science and Technology of China Hefei, Anhui, China
Abstract: Virtual reality motion sickness (VRMS) seriously affects user comfort and Quality of Experience (QoE) in immersive video systems, making objective and continuous assessment essential. Existing questionnaire-based methods are subjective and discontinuous, while physiological-signal-based approaches often rely on unimodal sensing or shallow fusion. To address these limitations, this paper proposes a multimodal physiological representation and […]

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 […]

Transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation and emotional responding in borderline personality disorder: a randomized single-blind, sham-controlled study
Aalborg University Hospital + 10 more
BACKGROUND: Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is characterized by severe emotional vulnerability, including heightened sensitivity, exaggerated reactivity, and delayed recovery from emotional arousal. Altered interoceptive-affective processing may contribute to these features. Transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) provides a non-invasive method for modulating vagal-afferent pathways involved in interoception and emotion regulation. This study examined whether active […]

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 […]

Behavioral Accounting: Preliminary Findings from Eye-Tracking Facial Expression Analysis and Biosensors
University of Patras
Behavioral accounting examines how individuals interpret accounting information and how cognitive and emotional factors affect decision-making. An experiment with 43 participants, including accounting experts and students, was conducted to examine differences in the evaluation of financial data. Eyetracking, facial expression analysis, and biosensors were used to record visual attention and emotional responses during accounting tasks. […]

Watching TikTok: An Eye-Tracking Study of Visual Attention Paid to Short-Form Videos
University of Ss. Cyril and Methodius + 1 more
The study focuses on how young viewers visually process short-form videos on TikTok and how the distribution of attention between the main image and the platform interface changes in the process. In an exploratory laboratory experiment, 16 participants watched ten videos of four different types of content (lifestyle, educational content, fastpaced potentially risky videos, multi-screen […]
