    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

    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 that […]

    Poker face and steady voice: Gender and reactions to emotional neutrality in crowdfunding

    University of St. Gallen + 4 more

    While emotional neutrality (e.g., maintaining a neutral face, speaking with a calm voice) can help entrepreneurs project a sought-after image of rationality, the effectiveness of such displays is context-dependent and gendered. In the emotionally resonant world of crowdfunding, the value of neutrality is ambiguous, as it may conflict with audience expectations of expressiveness. Building on […]

    Evaluating WELL-Informed Biophilic Façades in Automated Retail Environments: A Multimodal Eye-Tracking and Facial Expression Analysis

    Inner Mongolia Technical University of Construction + 3 more

    Abstract Global urbanization redirects attention toward the sensory quality of the built environment as a decisive factor in public health and psychological resilience. In automated retail, façades function as sensory interfaces to mitigate the psychological alienation and sensory deprivation inherent in automated nodes. This preliminary study proposes and empirically validates a multimodal evaluation framework for […]

    Effect of Meditation on Galvanic Skin Response

    B. J. Medical College & Sassoon Hospital

    Background: Meditation is a mental practice in which a person intentionally focuses their mind on a particular object, thought, sensation or awareness to cultivate calmness, clarity, emotional balance and heightened consciousness. Meditation significantly influences the autonomic nervous system by reducing sympathetic activity and enhancing parasympathetic activity. Aim: The present study was conducted to find out […]

    The carousel effect: leveraging sideways swiping for enhanced ad effectiveness in social media

    University of Wuppertal

    Carousel ads introduce a unique interactive element to in-feed social media advertising by prompting consumers to swipe sideways. Four studies offer novel insights into the “carousel effect” that results from the interactivity and multi-card structure of carousel ads. An exploratory investigation of how consumers perceive and experience carousel ads reveals four experiential themes: curiosity, convenience, […]

    A Cross-Corpus Evaluation on Spontaneous and Dynamic Facial Expressions for Automated Emotion Classification

    University College London

    Abstract: The growing availability of facial expression databases (FEDBs) has accelerated the development of empathic AI systems designed to promote emotional awareness and well-being. However, most existing systems are trained solely on posed (acted), static databases featuring exaggerated and stereotypical displays. Such portrayals may not accurately represent the real-world expressions that are often subtle, heterogeneous, […]

    Eye-tracking biomarkers of clinical expertise in ECG interpretation: statistical and machine learning evidence

    King Abdulaziz University

    Introduction Interpreting the electrocardiogram (ECG) is a fundamental clinical skill, and mistakes are still prevalent in the workforce, especially among trainees and non-specialist clinicians. Eye-tracking technology has recently become a popular method for investigating visual expertise. However, few studies have integrated visual behavior metrics with machine learning to accurately classify expertise levels. Methods The original […]

    Examining Links Between Music-Induced Physiological Response, Active Engagement with Music, and Musical Competence

    The Society for Education, Music, and Psychology Research + 3 more

    Abstract The present study investigated the links between music-induced physiological response and active engagement with music to understand individual differences in musical competence. Building on McPherson and Williamon’s differentiated model of musical giftedness and talent as the theoretical foundation, the study treated individuals’ music-induced physiological response as an indicator of natural abilities. Active engagement with […]

    The Signal in the Noise: Hierarchy and Robustness of Physiological Audience Alignment during Narrative Media

    Abstract Communication research traditionally prioritizes receiver variance, often overlooking how a single message induces commonality across distinct systems. Drawing on classical theory, we propose that effective messages entrain the biological rhythms of the audience. In a large-scale experiment (N=198) monitoring eye-tracking, heart rate, and electrodermal activity during a film, we mapped this alignment. Results reveal […]
