Robust Multimodal Cognitive Load Measurement

Robust Multimodal Cognitive Load Measurement
Springer | HCI | July 16, 2016 | ISBN-10: 3319316982 | 200 pages | pdf | 9.39 mb

Authors: Chen, F., Zhou, J., Wang, Y., Yu, K., Arshad, S.Z., Khawaji, A., Conway, D.

Explores multimodal cognitive load measurement using physiological and behavioral modalities
Introduces various computational methods for automatic and real-time cognitive load measurement
Provides models for dynamic workload adjustment and real-time cognitive load measurement via data streaming

This book explores robust multimodal cognitive load measurement with physiological and behavioural modalities, which involve the eye, Galvanic Skin Response, speech, language, pen input, mouse movement and multimodality fusions. Factors including stress, trust, and environmental factors such as illumination are discussed regarding their implications for cognitive load measurement. Furthermore, dynamic workload adjustment and real-time cognitive load measurement with data streaming are presented in order to make cognitive load measurement accessible by more widespread applications and users. Finally, application examples are reviewed demonstrating the feasibility of multimodal cognitive load measurement in practical applications.

This is the first book of its kind to systematically introduce various computational methods for automatic and real-time cognitive load measurement and by doing so moves the practical application of cognitive load measurement from the domain of the computer scientist and psychologist to more general end-users, ready for widespread implementation.

Robust Multimodal Cognitive Load Measurement is intended for researchers and practitioners involved with cognitive load studies and communities within the computer, cognitive, and social sciences. The book will especially benefit researchers in areas like behaviour analysis, social analytics, human-computer interaction (HCI), intelligent information processing, and decision support systems.

Cognitive Neuroscience Robotics A: Synthetic Approaches to Human Understanding

Cognitive Neuroscience Robotics A: Synthetic Approaches to Human Understanding
Springer | Robotics | March 20 2016 | ISBN-10: 4431545948 | 236 pages | pdf | 7.04 mb

Editors: Kasaki, M., Ishiguro, H., Asada, M., Osaka, M., Fujikado, T. (Eds.)

Addresses interdisciplinary research linking cognitive science, neuroscience, and robotics
Helps readers understand the need for collaboration with other disciplines
Describes how human cognitive functions can be replicated in artificial systems such as robots, and investigates how artificial systems could acquire intelligent behaviors through interaction with others and their environment

Cognitive Neuroscience Robotics is the first introductory book on this new interdisciplinary area. This book consists of two volumes, the first of which, Synthetic Approaches to Human Understanding, advances human understanding from a robotics or engineering point of view. The second, Analytic Approaches to Human Understanding, addresses related subjects in cognitive science and neuroscience. These two volumes are intended to complement each other in order to more comprehensively investigate human cognitive functions, to develop human-friendly information and robot technology (IRT) systems, and to understand what kind of beings we humans are.

Volume A describes how human cognitive functions can be replicated in artificial systems such as robots, and investigates how artificial systems could acquire intelligent behaviors through interaction with others and their environment.

Towards Cognitive Cities: Advances in Cognitive Computing and its Application to the Governance of Large Urban Systems
Springer | Systems, Decision & Control | July 11, 2016 | ISBN-10: 3319337971 | 256 pages | pdf | 3.98 mb

Editors: Portmann, Edy, Finger, Matthias (Eds.)

Offers a concise introduction to the new concept of cognitive cities
Argues why cities need to become cognitive and why therefore the concept of cognitive city is needed
Highlights the main building blocks of cognitive cities and illustrates the concept by various cases
Presents a comprehensive view of the different research endeavours about cognitive cities and paves the way for this innovative approach to governing cities

This book introduces the readers to the new concept of cognitive cities. It demonstrates why cities need to become cognitive and why therefore a concept of cognitive city is needed. It highlights the main building blocks of cognitive cities and illustrates the concept by various cases. Following a concise introductory chapter the book features nine chapters illustrating various aspects and dimensions of cognitive cities. The logic of its structure proceeds from more general considerations to more specific illustrations. All chapters offer a comprehensive view of the different research endeavours about cognitive cities and will help pave the way for this new and innovative approach to governing cities in the future.

Beck’s Cognitive Therapy: Distinctive Features

Frank Wills, “Beck’s Cognitive Therapy: Distinctive Features”
English | ISBN: 0415439523, 0415439515 | 2009 | 193 pages | PDF | 1 MB

Beck’s Cognitive Therapy: Distinctive Features explores the key contributions made by Aaron T. Beck to the development of cognitive behaviour therapy.

This book provides a concise account of Beck’s work against a background of his personal and professional history. The author, Frank Wills, considers the theory and practice of Beck’s cognitive therapy by firstly examining his contribution to the understanding of psychopathology, and going on to explore Beck’s suggestions about the best methods of treatment. Throughout the book a commentary of how Beck’s thinking differs from other approaches to CBT is provided, as well as a summary of the similarities and differences between Beck’s methods and other forms of treatment including psychoanalysis and humanistic therapy.

Beck’s Cognitive Therapy will be ideal reading for both newcomers to the field and experienced practitioners wanting a succinct guide.
