Engineering data compendium. Human perception and performance. User's guide

The concept underlying the Engineering Data Compendium was the product of a research and development program (Integrated Perceptual Information for Designers project) aimed at facilitating the application of basic research findings in human performance to the design and military crew systems. The principal objective was to develop a workable strategy for: (1) identifying and distilling information of potential value to system design from the existing research literature, and (2) presenting this technical information in a way that would aid its accessibility, interpretability, and applicability by systems designers. The present four volumes of the Engineering Data Compendium represent the first implementation of this strategy. This is the first volume, the User's Guide, containing a description of the program and instructions for its use

This conference is a local event aiming at bringing together the research students, staff and eminent external guests to celebrate Engineering and Computer Science Research at the University of Hertfordshire. The ECS Research Conference aims to showcase the broad landscape of research taking place in the School of Engineering and Computer Science. The 2019 conference was articulated around three topical cross-disciplinary themes: Make and Preserve the Future; Connect the People and Cities; and Protect and Care

Engineering Data Compendium. Human Perception and Performance, Volume 1

The concept underlying the Engineering Data Compendium was the product an R and D program (Integrated Perceptual Information for Designers project) aimed at facilitating the application of basic research findings in human performance to the design of military crew systems. The principal objective was to develop a workable strategy for: (1) identifying and distilling information of potential value to system design from existing research literature, and (2) presenting this technical information in a way that would aid its accessibility, interpretability, and applicability by system designers. The present four volumes of the Engineering Data Compendium represent the first implementation of this strategy. This is Volume 1, which contains sections on Visual Acquisition of Information, Auditory Acquisition of Information, and Acquisition of Information by Other Senses

AUTOMATIC DETECTION OF NYSTAGMUS IN BEDSIDE VOG RECORDINGS FROM PATIENTS WITH VERTIGO

Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) is the most common cause of vertigo. It can be diagnosed and treated using simple maneuvers done by vestibular experts. However, patients with this condition presenting to the emergency department have high chance of being misdiagnosed. Such high rate of misdiagnosis results in significant morbidity to the patient and also incurs huge medical costs from unnecessary neuroimaging tests. Hence, automatic medical diagnosis is the next step to aid ED practitioners to reduce diagnostic errors. However, current software employed for this diagnosis has been found to have very low specificity. This can be attributed to factors such as low sampling frequency of recording device and the fact that bedside recordings from patients are susceptible to noise and artifacts. This study aims to improve methods for automatic quantification of nystagmus, a key sign of BPPV. Testing the current method using eye movement data recorded in patients during the diagnostic maneuver yielded better results than the commercial software
