When does an easy task become hard? A systematic review of human task-evoked pupillary dynamics versus cognitive efforts
The amount of working memory recourses available (or required) to process a cognitive task (easy or hard) represents human cognitive effort. Working memory resources (visual or auditory) and cognitive efforts are interconnected with visual or auditory pathways. In this review
various facets of pupillary dynamics literature are compared in order to determine an optimal method of cognitive effort assessment. Some key categorical areas of interest are identified including the presented stimulus
observed response
comparisons and different methods of analysis....
When does an easy task become hard? A systematic review of human task-evoked pupillary dynamics versus cognitive efforts
The concept of energy sustainability has been recently introduced in complex cyber-physical systems innovation studies. Previous empirical studies have only focused on the coordination of systems in a large system
but less research has been done on energy efficiency and management towards sustainability. We argue that in terms of energy consumption
a system comprising variety of technologies and applications should be energy sustainable. Hence
we focus on a framework of energy demand in a complex-robotic environment. As a preliminary study
we propose a system dynamics modeling of the energy sustainable complex-structure. As the work is ongoing
some initial simulation results are shown here. Based on our initial studies
we evaluate a number of implications of the management of energy in large-scale cyber-physical systems.
Towards a sustainable cyber-physical energy system design
Collaborative sense making is the process by which people assign meaning to experience in collaborative information sharing and decision making. Recent technological advances made it possible for people with disabilities to collaborate among themselves using smart phones. The main research goal of this pilot study is to investigate the suitability and utility of modern technology (e.g.
android apps) in modeling reducing gaps that is prevalent in people with disability. In particular
empirical analysis was performed in a collaborative scenario (e.g.
communication between deaf and blind) to understand the challenge and usability of technology solutions. In addition
study was performed on technology tools that are useful in effective interaction design and some recommendations were made in bridging the communication
expectation and perception gaps in sense making.

People with disability are unique in their own ways. Hence
adaptive systems are imperative to effectively assist individual with disabilities. Assistive thinking is a new concept in design and implementation of such a system that requires a holistic approach. The key idea is to identify user’s preference and resources early and incorporate them implementing the design that can address the specific disability in the best possible manner as well as effectively use the existing resources to manage disability. In particular
an in depth analysis of specific case
understanding user’s needs
available resources
and sustainability plan are the key components to this integrative approach. This enables us to design system that not only meets users need from technological point of view but also address their situational and social needs and resource constraints. As a pilot study
we have been exploring a set of usability questions and observed cognitive capabilities of real targeted users of assistive technologies. This approach communicates directly with a “user” in the analysis phase of application development and resolves failure of many examples with of current practice in assistive technology research. It also allows identification
uniquely
as a routine
of the unintended consequences and facilitates subsequent modeling to measure performance.
Assistive Thinking: A New Approach in Assistive Technology Design in Disability Management
Abstract A robust seizure prediction methodology would enable a “closed-loop” system that \nwould only activate as impending seizure activity is detected. Such a system would eliminate \nongoing stimulation to the brain
thereby eliminating such side effects as coughing
\nhoarseness
voice alteration
and paresthesias (Murphy et al.
1998; Ben-Menachem
2001)
\nwhile preserving overall battery life of the system. The seizure prediction and detection \nalgorithm uses Phase/Amplitude Lock Values (PLV/ALV) which calculate the difference of ...

Mobile Phone Based Systems and Technology Tools for Social Coordination between Disabilities: A Review
Rajab Challoo
Smartphones have become a basic necessity in lives\nof all human beings. Apart from the core functionality of\ncommunication
these become a medium for storage of sensitive\npersonal information
financial data and official documents.\nHence
there is an inevitable need to emphasize on securing\naccess to such devices considering the nature of data being\nstored. In addition
accessibility and authentication methods need\nto secure
robust
and user-friendly. This paper discusses an\nadaptive authentication mechanism with a nonparametric\nclassification approach
Kolmogorov–Smirnov (K-S) statistic
\nwhich is coupled with the use of lock pattern dynamics as a\nsecure and user-friendly two-factor authentication method. The\ndata used for experimental exploration were collected from a\nsystematically programmed Android device to capture the\ntemporal parameters when individuals drew lock patterns on the\ntouch screen. Each user has his individualistic way of drawing\nthe pattern
which is used as the key for identifying imposters\nfrom valid users.

The amount of working memory recourses available (or required) to process a cognitive task (easy or hard) represents human cognitive effort. Working memory resources (visual or auditory) and cognitive efforts are interconnected with visual or auditory pathways. In this review
various facets of pupillary dynamics literature are compared in order to determine an optimal method of cognitive effort assessment. Some key categorical areas of interest are identified including the presented stimulus
observed response
comparisons and different methods of analysis. In details review
a set of predetermined evaluation criteria were used and a decision matrix is developed to outline the best practice in papillary dynamics. Based on the summery table in the form of the decision matrix
a quantitative model with artificial neural network (ANN) is selected for a best practice of cognitive effort estimation. The mental multiplication task is found an effective stimulus (cognitive task) to evoke the pupillary response for various level of task difficulty. In most cases
aural and visual are considered as two presentation modes
two sensory inputs
and two mental resources and greatly imparts in cognitive workload. ...

Cognitive Load Based Adaptive Assistive Technology Design for Reconfigured Mobile Android Phone
Intelligent educational interfaces are becoming important part of online future educational system. Interface with understanding of user's essential cognitive capabilities make it adaptive and may reduce gap between human computer interactions. In online learning environment
a student interacting with such intelligent interface experiences different level of cognitive load. The dynamics of cognitive load refers the continuity and variation of such workload in cognitive task interaction. The dynamics of cognitive load and increasingly intricate inter dependencies among many features requires a systematic study to understand the relationships between certain features and the cognitive requirements of a learner. In particular average pupil size variation in switching between different tasks (easy
medium or hard) may be an important measurement to identify cognitive load dynamics. This paper presents a brief analysis of student's cognitive load dynamics in mental multiplication tasks (data from klingner et al. 2010). Our results are promising to uncover cognitive load dynamics in cognitive task interaction and useful for continuous load measurement.

Cognitive Gap Analysis
Human-agent (computer) social interaction aims to more flexible
more efficient
more powerful and more natural interaction than the interaction we have now. To make a consistent social interaction
human likes to use limited cognitive
physical and/or social abilities
on the contrary
human adopt agents that demands more abilities from him. Human ability is latent
and random in nature
but agent's demand is fixed as it is programmed. This creates a mixed-initiative
random capabilities from human and constant demand from agent creates inconsistencies in human agent interaction. More specifically
the limited abilities of human (in terms of cognitive
physical or social abilities) defers from the agent’s task demand (physical
cognitive or social demands). This phenomenon makes the interaction inflexible
less efficient
slow
and artificial rather than natural - we name this as ability-demand gap problem in collaborative sense-making.\n\nMy passion is to research on some aspects of the brain and mind in collaborative sensemaking including - vision
movement systems
learning and memory
neural and cognitive issues and reasoning to understand the agent-human ability-demand gap in collaborative social interaction. \n\nMy PhD work stands at the nexus of behavioral bio-signal processing
cognitive engineering
ergonomics and human factors
social computing and collaborative systems
action and learning technologies and mobile assistive usability engineering (Figure).\n\nPresently
I am working on the theoretical basis of the cognitive ability-demand gap modeling with systems dynamics modeling and collaborative disability sensemaking. \n\nTo validate theories
we analyze patterns from behavioral bio-signals: pupillary dynamics; finger tips - keystroke
tapping
mouse clicking dynamics; and electroencephalogram during cognitive interaction tasks (e.g.
Operation span tasks).\n-\tOne conference paper 3 Journal (on process)
