Best paper award ETIMM conference for study on Online Consumer Reviews
Online Consumer Reviews form a major part of the online buying experience. They do so for both the consumers that read and write them and the online platforms that use them. Reviews can have real impact and they can result in future sales or the prevention of them. The exact process through which reviews affect […]
Testing user experience with the Experivan
The mobile lab of the BMS lab – dubbed the Experivan – enables researchers to bring their studies to their targeted audiences. Whether they are interested in studying the elderly, the less mobile or perhaps even prison inmates, the Experivan enables and eases the process. Last month PhD. candidate Simon Langener was one of the […]
Evaluating the validity of new devices for science
Technology evolves fast and often with great leaps. This leads to new and interesting opportunities for both consumers and scientists. It however also presents challenges. One such opportunity is the availability of small and wearable sensors that provide easily accessible physiological measurements. These range from smartwatches to medical grade heart-rate monitors. A challenge posed by […]
The BMS lab will host the Brain Computer Interface testing ground
Over the past decades we have witnessed major developments in not just the machines that drive the world, but also in the ways we interact with them. Increasingly intuitive and quick interfaces have added to the ease and speed with which we have control over machines and computers alike. Computer interfaces like mouses and the […]
Francesco’s street-crossing-safety-slider presented during the CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems
In traffic, humans communicate with all different kinds of signals, nods, winks and shouts what they are doing and what they want others to do. Annoying as that might sometimes be, it is also quite critical for other road users. How does one otherwise interpret if they have been seen by a driver or if […]
Carolina Herrando’s work is part of the NeuroPsychoEconomics Conference in June
As the BMS lab, we often aid both students and researchers from around and even outside the University of Twente with their research. These research projects often result in interesting studies and surprising findings. Today we’re very happy to announce that one of the studies run by Ph.D.candidate Carolina Herrando of the University of Twente’s […]
A Virtual Reality App to get rid of the fear of heights
Professor Jean-Louis van Gelder of the department of the Psychology of Conflict, Risk and Safety from the University of Twente was in the news recently. In a cooperation with the Vrije Universiteit van Amsterdam, he developed a Virtual Reality Application for smartphones that allow those that suffer from the fear of heights to be exposed […]
BMS LAB Projects #1
Hereby we open our series in which we introduce projects featuring the BMSLAB! We start with the Vigilant Brain. Denny Sasonko, a Master Student of Human Factors and Engineering Psychology at the UT, just finished his research project in which he focused on vigilant attention. While reacting to an emerging stimulus, the EEG recorded the […]
