Knowledge is commonly socially constructed, through collaborative efforts towards shared objectives or by dialogues and challenges brought about by different persons' perspectives.

Coffey, Emily B. J., Brouwer, Anne-Marie and Erp, Jan B. F. van (2012): Measuring workload using a combination of electroencephalography and near infrared spectroscopy. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 2012 Annual Meeting 2012. pp. 1822-1826.

The ability to continuously monitor workload in a real-world environment would have important implications for the offline design of human machine interfaces as well as the real-time improvement of interaction between humans and machines. We explored the usefulness of features derived from electroencephalography (EEG) spectra, near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) hemoglobin concentration, and their combination, under data acquisition and processing conditions that could be applied to real-time usage. We simultaneously recorded from eight EEG and three NIRS channels during different workload conditions of the N-back task (N = 0, 1, 2). EEG and NIRS data were classified independently, and in combination. EEG could be used to reliably classify workload condition for most subjects and NIRS for half of them. NIRS tended to contribute to classification accuracy when combined with EEG in some subjects. We discuss implications and future directions.

Neerincx, Mark A., Kallen, Victor L., Brouwer, Anne-Marie, Leer, Leslie van der and Brinke, Michiel ten (2010): Virtual reality exposure and neuro-bio feedback to help coping with traumatic events. In: Proceedings of the 2010 Annual European Conference on Cognitive Ergonomics 2010. pp. 367-369.

Recent research shows that Virtual Reality (VR) exposure or bio-neuro feedback can help professionals to cope with possibly traumatic events. This paper presents a neuro-bio VR system that combines both methods in order to further improve the prevention and therapy of trauma-related disorders. This system can harmonize the VR exposure to user's personal experiences by systematically showing scenes and stressors, and monitoring the corresponding EEG, heart rate and skin conductance responses. The paper describes the set-up of a first experiment that is being conducted to test the effects of the VR stressors on bio-neuro markers and their dependency on the specific scene (do scene-specific effects appear?). The results of this experiment will be included in the poster.
