Physiological synchrony plays an important role in measuring collaboration and performance within teams. However, there has been little investigation into awareness of physiological synchrony and its impact on the collaboration and performance. In my ...

Student engagement plays a vital role in academic success with high engagement often linked to positive educational outcomes. Traditionally, student engagement is measured through self-reports, which are both labour-intensive and not real-time. An ...

Systems aimed at stress awareness and reflection training by those in high-stress work environments may aid the development of stress management skills to alleviate and manage future workplace traumas. However, there is a notable gap in research ...

Canine Assisted Interactions (CAI) are widely used to provide therapeutic benefits to human participants in various contexts (e.g. cancer-related fatigue, post-traumatic stress disorder treatment, child reading facilitation, etc.). Despite its ...

Breaks as discretionary self-interruptions can have beneficial effects on information worker productivity and well-being. This has design implications for potential productivity tools that can assess opportune moments to suggest these breaks. ...

Biocybernetic loops encompass users' state detection and system adaptation based on physiological signals. Current adaptive systems limit the adaptation to task features such as task difficulty or multitasking demands. However, virtual reality allows ...

Video games are increasingly present and are currently a dominant vehicle not only for entertainment, but also for information. This position has generated a rapid growth and consequent increase in competitiveness in the game development industry, which ...

Automatic pain assessment systems can help patients get timely and effective pain relief treatment whenever needed. Such a system aims to provide the service with pain identification and pain intensity rating functions. Among the physiological signals, ...

The use of wearable sensor technology opens up exciting avenues for both art and HCI research, providing new ways to explore the invisible link between audience and performer. To be effective, such work requires close collaboration between performers and ...

Wrist-worn vibrotactile feedback has been heralded as a promising intervention for reducing state anxiety during stressor events. However, current work has focused on the continuous delivery of the vibrotactile stimulus, which entails the risk of ...

This paper presents a tiny, flexible, and low-cost all-analog approach for measuring electrodermal activity, based on the conductance of the skin. We propose a tiny, fully-printed system on flexible substrates, which guarantees flexibility and ...

Objective: We investigate experienced joy of use (JoU) and usability using a multimodal methods approach by systematically varying mobile phone interactions. Methods: We combined subjective and objective measures to investigate whether positive ...

Programming can be an emotional experience, particularly for undergraduate students who are new to computer science. While researchers have interviewed novice programmers about their emotional experiences, it can be difficult to pinpoint the specific ...

Multimodal Sentiment Analysis (MuSe) 2021 is a challenge focusing on the tasks of sentiment and emotion, as well as physiological-emotion and emotion-based stress recognition through more comprehensively integrating the audio-visual, language, and ...

Exposure to nature has been shown to have a positive effect on people’s mental health. Little research has compared restorative effects of simulated nature presented by different media. Here, we investigated stress recovery when viewing a computer-...

We present our first steps towards an umbrella-based novel multimedia platform using physiological data as an integrated feedback loop. In this paper, we demonstrate the viability of using an umbrella handle as a form factor to measure electrodermal ...

Deaf and hard of hearing English language learners encounter a range of challenges when learning spoken/written English, many of which are not faced by their hearing counterparts. In this paper, we examine the feasibility of utilizing physiological data,...

Paramedics play a critical role in society and face many high stress situations in their day-to-day work. Long-term unmanaged stress can result in mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder. Physiological ...

The main aim of this research is to examine engagement in early science learning in the context of a science centre, particularly how and to what extent the process of engagement can be captured and fostered in children aged 4-7 years. This research is ...

Emotion reacts human beings' physiological and psychological status. Galvanic Skin Response (GSR) can reveal the electrical characteristics of human skin and is widely used to recognize the presence of emotion. In this work, we propose an emotion ...
