In this research, we are concerned with the applicability of virtual reality-based attention training as a tool for stress management. Mental stress is a worldwide challenge that is still far from being fully managed. This has maintained a…
Spoken dialogue systems that assist users to solve complex tasks such as movie ticket booking have become an emerging research topic in artificial intelligence and natural language processing areas. With a well-designed dialogue system as…
Automatic Emotion Detection (ED) aims to build systems to identify users' emotions automatically. This field has the potential to enhance HCI, creating an individualised experience for the user. However, ED systems tend to perform poorly on…
In the last decade, researchers have increasingly explored using biosensing technologies for music-based affective regulation and stress management interventions in laboratory and real-world settings. These systems -- including interactive…
Context. Computer workers in general, and software developers specifically, are under a high amount of stress due to continuous deadlines and, often, over-commitment. Objective. This study investigates the effects of a neuroplasticity…
Every day life tasks can present significant challenges for neurodivergent individuals, particularly those with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) who are characterized by specific sensitivities. This contribution describes a virtual reality…
We numerically investigate stress relaxation in soft athermal disks to reveal critical slowing down when the system approaches the jamming point. The exponents describing the divergence of the relaxation time differ dramatically depending…
We describe the design and implementation of a vision based interactive entertainment system that makes use of both involuntary and voluntary control paradigms. Unintentional input to the system from a potential viewer is used to drive…
We present a new integrated, portable device to provide a convenient solution for remote monitoring heart rate at the fingertip and body temperature using Ethernet technology and widely spreading internet. Now a days, heart related disease…
The Medical Internet of Things, a recent technological advancement in medicine, is incredibly helpful in providing real-time monitoring of health metrics. This paper presents a non-invasive IoT system that tracks patients' emotions,…
This study introduced a Multimodal Mindfulness-Training System. Our installation, 'EmotionCarrier', correlates traditional calligraphy interactions with real-time physiological data from an Apple Watch. We aim to enhance mindfulness…
Recent research has focused on the risks associated with poor sitting posture and the impact of sitting on biological parameters, such as heart rate because prolonged sitting is common across all ages and professions. In this work, we…
Radar as a remote sensing technology has been used to analyze human activity for decades. Despite all the great features such as motion sensitivity, privacy preservation, penetrability, and more, radar has limited spatial degrees of freedom…
This position paper describes an experiment conducted to understand the relationships between different physiological measures including pupil Diameter, Blinking Rate, Heart Rate, and Heart Rate Variability in order to develop an estimation…
In the midst of rising positive cases of COVID-19, the hospitals face a newfound difficulty to prioritize on their patients and accommodate them. Moreover, crowding of patients at hospitals pose a threat to the healthcare workers and other…
Diffusion models can synthesize realistic co-speech video from audio for various applications, such as video creation and virtual agents. However, existing diffusion-based methods are slow due to numerous denoising steps and costly…
Radio signals are sensitive to changes in the environment, which for example is reflected on the received signal strength (RSS) measurements of low-cost wireless devices. This information has been used effectively in the past years e.g. in…
Timely stress detection is crucial for protecting vulnerable groups from long-term detrimental effects by enabling early intervention. Wearable devices, by collecting real-time physiological signals, offer a solution for accurate stress…
In this paper we present the first results of a pilot experiment in the capture and interpretation of multimodal signals of human experts engaged in solving challenging chess problems. Our goal is to investigate the extent to which…
LLMs are increasingly being deployed as chatbots, but today's interfaces offer little to no friction: users interact through seamless conversations that conceal when the model is drifting, hallucinating or failing. This lack of transparency…
