Human Factors Engineering in System Design: A Roadmap for Improvement
(2015)This paper summarises current industrial practices and standards promoting Human Factors Engineering (HFE) at design stage and revise them with an action research approached based on the concrete case studies performed ... -
Distinctive voices enhance the visual recognition of unfamiliar faces
(2015)Several studies have provided evidence in favour of a norm-based representation of faces in memory. However, such models have hitherto failed to take account of how other person-relevant information affects face recognition ... -

Nucleus reuniens of the thalamus contains head direction cells.
(2014)Discrete populations of brain cells signal heading direction, rather like a compass. These 'head direction' cells are largely confined to a closely-connected network of sites. We describe, for the first time, a population ... -
Global genetic variations predict brain response to faces.
(2014)Face expressions are a rich source of social signals. Here we estimated the proportion of phenotypic variance in the brain response to facial expressions explained by common genetic variance captured by ∼ 500,000 single ... -
Positive association of video game playing with left frontal cortical thickness in adolescents.
(2014)Playing video games is a common recreational activity of adolescents. Recent research associated frequent video game playing with improvements in cognitive functions. Improvements in cognition have been related to grey ... -
