Exposure to green and historic urban environments and mental well-being: Results from EEG and psychometric outcome measures (2022)
Journal Article

Previous studies have identified the benefits of exposure to green or historic environments using qualitative methods and psychometric measures, but studies using a combination of measures are lacking. This study builds on current literature by focus... Read More about Exposure to green and historic urban environments and mental well-being: Results from EEG and psychometric outcome measures.

Exposure to green, blue and historic environments and mental well-being: A comparison between virtual reality head-mounted display and flat screen exposure (2022)
Journal Article

Improving the mental health of urban residents is a global public health priority. This study builds on existing work that demonstrates the ability of virtual exposure to restorative environments to improve population mental health. It compares the r...

A comparison between ecological momentary assessment and the adapted-quick drinking screen: Alcohol mixed with energy drinks (2022)
Journal Article

AIMS: To compare alcohol consumption and risk-taking behaviours on alcohol mixed with energy drink (AMED) and alcohol-only (AO) drinking occasions collected via ecological momentary assessment (EMA) versus retrospective survey methods (adapted-Quick... Read More about A comparison between ecological momentary assessment and the adapted-quick drinking screen: Alcohol mixed with energy drinks.

Using in-seat electrical potential sensors for non-contact monitoring of heart rate, heart rate variability, and heart rate recovery (2021)
Journal Article

Detecting transient changes in heart rate and heart rate variability during experimental simulated autonomous driving scenarios can indicate participant arousal and cognitive load, providing valuable insights into the relationship between human and v...

A cross-cultural comparison of the effects of alcohol mixed with energy drink (AMED) consumption on overall alcohol consumption and related consequences (2021)
Journal Article

There is a growing body of scientific literature examining the effects of alcohol mixed with energy drink (AMED) on alcohol consumption and related negative consequences, such as risky behavior or negative health effects. It is unknown whether differ...

The utility of psychological measures in evaluating perceived usability of automated vehicle interfaces – A study with older adults (2020)
Journal Article

© 2020 Elsevier Ltd The design of the traditional vehicle human-machine interfaces (HMIs) is undergoing major change as we move towards fully connected and automated vehicles (CAVs). Given the diversity of user requirements and preferences, it is vit...

The impact of alcohol hangover on simulated driving performance during a ‘commute to work’—zero and residual alcohol effects compared (2020)
Journal Article

Driving is increasing across the world and road traffic accidents are a major cause of serious injuries and fatalities. The link between alcohol consumption and impaired driving has long been established and has led to legislation in many countries,... Read More about The impact of alcohol hangover on simulated driving performance during a ‘commute to work’—zero and residual alcohol effects compared.

Sensitivity to experiencing alcohol hangovers: Reconsideration of the 0.11% blood alcohol concentration (BAC) threshold for having a hangover (2020)
Journal Article

The 2010 Alcohol Hangover Research Group consensus paper defined a cutoff blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.11% as a toxicological threshold indicating that sufficient alcohol had been consumed to develop a hangover. The cutoff was based on prev... Read More about Sensitivity to experiencing alcohol hangovers: Reconsideration of the 0.11% blood alcohol concentration (BAC) threshold for having a hangover.

Advantages and limitations of naturalistic study designs and their implementation in alcohol hangover research (2019)
Journal Article

In alcohol hangover research, both naturalistic designs and randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are successfully employed to study the causes, consequences, and treatments of hangovers. Although increasingly applied in both social sciences and medica... Read More about Advantages and limitations of naturalistic study designs and their implementation in alcohol hangover research.

Motives for mixing alcohol with energy drinks and other non-alcoholic beverages and its effects on overall alcohol consumption among UK students (2015)
Journal Article

© 2015 Published by Elsevier Ltd. Introduction: A UK student survey examined the motivations for consuming energy drinks alone and mixed with alcohol, and aimed to determine whether the type of motive had a differential effect on overall alcohol cons...

Mapping brain activity during loss of situation awareness: An EEG investigation of a basis for top-down influence on perception (2014)
Journal Article

Objective: The objective was to map brain activity during early intervals in loss of situation awareness (SA) to examine any co-activity in visual and high-order regions, reflecting grounds for top-down influences on Level 1 SA.
Background: Behavior... Read More about Mapping brain activity during loss of situation awareness: An EEG investigation of a basis for top-down influence on perception.

Sleep specialists' opinion on sleep disorders and fitness to drive a car: The necessity of continued education (2012)
Journal Article

Whether patients with sleep disorders are fit to drive, and who should determine this, is a matter of debate. However, scientific literature is available on these topics to aid clinicians making these decisions. A survey was conducted to assess sleep...
