Due to the increased availability of both neuroscience methods and theories, Information Systems (IS) scholars have begun to investigate the potential of neuroscience for IS research. This new field of research is referred to as NeuroIS. Moreover, large technology companies (e.g., Microsoft and Philips) started research programs to evaluate the potential of neuroscience for their business. The ...

Recently, 9 especially important critical reviews and research studies have appeared in the general scientific and medical literatures pertaining to 4 areas of applied and scientific hypnosis: management of pain, treatment of gastrointestinal disorders, adjunctive hypnosis in outpatient surgery, and error in memory. Together, these articles examine matters of soma and cognition that are at once...

In this paper I introduce a lens of mobility for the study of documentary film practices and gender in zones of conflict. By drawing on my qualitative research regarding the practice of the independent filmmaker Iffat Fatima, I will argue that a lens of mobility helps to grasp highly mobile media practices both conceptually and methodologically. Through a lens of mobility, my focus lies on the ...

This paper demonstrates how the evaluation of the electromagnetic scattering from 3D rough multilayers can be analytically conducted in the framework of the Volumetric Perturbative Reciprocal Theory (VPRT). The advantage of the proposed approach is twofold. Indeed, in this framework the pertinent closed-form (first-order) scattering solution is derived in a conceptually clean way and is directl...

Loop analysis is a method of qualitative modeling anticipated by Sewall Wright and systematically developed by Richard Levins. In Levins’ (1966) distinctions between modeling strategies, loop analysis sacrifices precision for generality and realism. Besides criticizing the clarity of these distinctions, Orzack and Sober (1993) argued qualitative modeling is conceptually and methodologically pro...

This paper employ the discrete hidden Markov model (HMM) in order to capture information about the Markov switching model’s inner states that is not directly observable, and to pre-detect the real estate business cycle’s volatility trend. The empirical results show that this HMM can capture the asymmetry in the duration of states. Compared with the real estate leading indicator announced by the...

The application of augmented reality (AR) is receiving great interest in e-commerce, m-commerce, and brick-and-mortar-retailing. A growing body literature has explored several different facets how consumers react to the upcoming shopping reality. This systematic review summarizes findings 56 empirical papers that analyzed consumers’ experience with AR, acceptance behavioral reactions AR various...
