A novel approach to cognitive engineering: Manipulating access cost (2013)
Presentation / Conference
Morgan, P., Smy, V., Seeby, H., & Patrick, J. (2013, July). A novel approach to cognitive engineering: Manipulating access cost. Poster presented at The 15th International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Las Vegas, USA

The traditional approach to cognitive engineering involves reducing workload by providing operators with immediately accessible relevant information. We suggest that such immediate access may not always improve human performance. Somewhat counter-int... Read More about A novel approach to cognitive engineering: Manipulating access cost.

Paper presented at Workshop on Unconventional Approaches to Robotics, Automation and Control Inspired by Nature, Karlsruhe

It is not always possible for a robot to process all the information from its sensors in a timely manner and thus quick and yet valid approximations of the robot's situation are needed. Here we design hybrid control for a robot within this limit usin...

Poster presented at American Association for Cancer Research Annual Meeting, Washington D.C., USA

Cytarabine (ara-C) is an analogue of deoxycytidine with an established role in treating AML. Cytarabine depends on the human equilibrative nucleoside transporter-1 (hENT-1) for cellular entry (1). Loss of hENT-1 function in vitro has been shown to re...
