For decades, IS researchers have discussed the reliability of subjective measurements to assess actual artifact usage. Especially in experimental settings, as in the design science context for instance, the participants’ usage data of the evaluated artifact represents an important point of analysis. However, collecting objective usage data, (i.e. logfiles) is often not feasible depending on the...

Sometimes history is a Morse function. Inflection points arrive, unanticipated, and in the blink of an eye, present reality our expectations for future are redefined. The assassinations John F. Kennedy Martin Luther King Jr. 1960s, Tiananmen Square fall Berlin Wall 1989, World Trade Center attacks 2001—all occupied mere seconds, minutes, or, at most, few days; each changed trajectory history.

All algorithms were capable of isolating the heart beat and most algorithms succeeded for the eye movements. Reduction of eye movement artifact is important in clinical applications as patients often cannot control their eye movements. The suggested comparative framework is of high practical value as demonstrated on a limited data set. Future work will assess the separability between cortical a...

Today's computing is one of the basic needs every human being. Many actions are done with mouse in use computer. Individuals physical disabilities, paralysis from neck down, or ALS patients who have difficulty making contact computer having using computers. In this study, an artificial intelligence-assisted system has been developed for these individuals, where they can control head and eye mov...

Blink-related ocular activity is a major source of artifacts in electroencephalogram (EEG) data. Independent component analysis (ICA) is a well-known technique for the correction of such ocular artifacts, but one of the limitations of ICA is that the ICs selected for removal contain not only ocular activity but also some EEG activity. Straightforward removal of these ICs might, therefore, lead ...

PURPOSE To analyze the levels of the diadenosine polyphosphates Ap4A and Ap5A in tears, in a set of control subjects and in groups of symptomatic and nonsymptomatic persons with dry eye. METHODS Ninety-seven subjects participated in the study. The subjects were divided into five experimental groups: control subjects; symptomatic patients with normal tear secretion; symptomatic patients with l...

The usage of web shows the importance of usability and readability of the web applications or sources provide by the web. Web application fails to encounter the user’s requirements in effective manner, because the designers are unaware from some of the important factors effecting readability, reading from the screen. In this regard, this study is the continuation of the previous work that has b...

Cardiac modulation of startle eye blink has been introduced as a methodology to reflect baro-afferent signal transmission. Recent studies showed that affective startle modulation is specific to left-ear presentation that may be due to hemispheric specificity in processing emotional-relevant stimuli, similar to the processing of visceral- and baro-afferent stimuli. To explore whether cardiac mod...

During a dyadic social interaction, two individuals can share visual attention through gaze, directed to each other (mutual gaze) or to a third person or an object (joint attention). Shared attention is fundamental to dyadic face-to-face interaction, but how attention is shared, retained, and neutrally represented in a pair-specific manner has not been well studied. Here, we conducted a two-day...

Eye-blink conditioning involves the pairing of a conditioned stimulus (usually a tone) to an unconditioned stimulus (air puff), and it is well established that an intact cerebellum and interpositus nucleus, in particular, are required for this form of classical conditioning. Changes in synaptic number or structure have long been proposed as a mechanism that may underlie learning and memory, but...
