EXPRESS: Data driven group comparisons of eye fixations to dynamic stimuli

Recent advances in software and hardware have allowed eye tracking to move away from static images to more ecologically relevant video streams. The analysis of eye tracking data for such dynamic stimuli, however, is not without challenges. The frame by frame coding of regions of interest (ROIs) is labour intensive, and computer vision techniques to…Continue Reading EXPRESS: Data driven group comparisons of eye fixations to dynamic stimuli

Integrating models of self-regulation and optimal experiences: A qualitative study into flow and clutch states in recreational distance running

Objective In this study, we aimed to understand the self-regulatory processes facilitating optimal experiences in running by integrating models of self-regulation with flow and clutch states. Method Using an event-focused approach, we interviewed 16 runners less than one day on average after recreational running activities (M = 22.17 hours later, range = 3–46) they described as positive,…Continue Reading Integrating models of self-regulation and optimal experiences: A qualitative study into flow and clutch states in recreational distance running

Improving Energy Efficiency: The Significance of Normativity

The failure of the global community to effectively address many large-scale environmental challenges calls into question the existing regulatory approaches. A large number of these challenges are diffuse issues which have, over the years been targeted by significant and sizable regulatory frameworks and yet the challenges persist—energy efficiency is one such issue and is the…Continue Reading Improving Energy Efficiency: The Significance of Normativity
