Unsupervised Clustering of Individuals Sharing Selective Attentional Focus Using Physiological Synchrony

Frontiers in Neuroergonomics, 2022
Research on brain signals as indicators of a certain attentional state is moving from laboratory environments to everyday settings. Uncovering the attentional focus of individuals in such settings is challenging because there is usually limited ...

Operator State in a Workplace Simulation Modulates Eye-Blink Related EEG Activity

IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering, 2023
Evaluating and understanding the cognitive demands of natural activities has been difficult using neurocognitive approaches like mobile EEG. While task-unrelated stimuli are commonly added to a workplace simulation to estimate event-related cognitive ...

Effects of a Social Robot's Autonomy and Group Orientation on Human Decision-Making

Advances in Human-Computer Interaction, 2013
Social attributes of intelligent robots are important for human-robot systems. This paper investigates influences of robot autonomy (i.e., high versus low) and group orientation (i.e., ingroup versus outgroup) on a human decision-making process.

Continuous decision‐making for autonomous driving at intersections using deep deterministic policy gradient

IET Intelligent Transport Systems, 2022
Intersections have been identified as the most complex and accident‐prone traffic scenarios on road. Making appropriate decisions at intersections for driving safety, efficiency, and comfort become a challenging task for autonomous vehicles (AVs).
