(author), Mulder, Max (author)Previous research indicated a need to improve pilot training with regard to understanding of autopilot logic and behavior, especially in non-routine situations. Therefore, we tested the effect of problem-based exploratory training on pilots’ understanding of autopilot functions. Using a moving-base flight simulator, general aviation pilots (n...journal article 2024

(author), van Gastel, Mark (author), Hendriks, B.H.W. (author), Ruers, Theo J.M. (author)Introduction: Anastomotic leakage after gastrointestinal surgery has a high impact on patient's quality of life and its origin is associated with inadequate perfusion. Imaging photoplethysmography (iPPG) is a noninvasive imaging technique that measures blood-volume changes in the microvascular tissue bed and detects changes in tissue...journal article 2023

Lai, Marco (author), van der Stel, Stefan D. (author), Groen, Harald C. (author), van Gastel, Mark (author), Kuhlmann, Koert F.D. (author), Ruers, Theo J.M. (author), Hendriks, B.H.W. (author)Surgical excision is the golden standard for treatment of intestinal tumors. In this surgical procedure, inadequate perfusion of the anastomosis can lead to postoperative complications, such as anastomotic leakages. Imaging photoplethysmography (iPPG) can potentially provide objective and real-time feedback of the perfusion status of tissues....journal article 2022

Landman, H.M. (author), Kalogeras, Dimitrios (author), Houben, Mark (author), Groen, Eric L. (author)Background: Previous research has shown that experiencing motion stimuli negatively impacts cognitive performance. Objective: In the current study, we investigate whether this impact relates to Type-II spatial disorientation (SD), to motion stimulus magnitude, or to an interaction of these factors. Method: Stimuli for participants (n = 23)...journal article 2022

Tuluk, A. (author), Mahon, T.R. (author), van der Zwaag, S. (author), Groen, W.A. (author)BiFeO<sub>3</sub> is an interesting multiferroic material with potential use in sensors and transducers. However, the high coercive field and low dielectric strength of this material make the poling process extremely difficult. Poling becomes a lot easier if the ceramic particles are incorporated in a non-conductive polymer with comparable...journal article 2021

Giannopoulos, D. (author), Chen, Yu Chen (author), van der Zwaag, S. (author), Groen, W.A. (author)Piezoelectric transducers which rely on oscillating cantilever-type beams to harvest mechanical energy locally available in environments have been of great interest as a substitute for batteries. Most of the research efforts focus mostly on designs which aim at resonance matching to achieve maximum energy output without taking the mechanical...journal article 2021

Landman, H.M. (author), Groen, Eric L. (author), van Paassen, M.M. (author), Bronkhorst, Adelbert W. (author), Mulder, Max (author)Previous studies show that pilots sometimes make roll reversal errors (RREs) when responding to the aircraft bank angle shown on the attitude indicator (AI). This is suggestive of a perceptual ambiguity in the AI. In the current study, we investigated whether expectation contributes to such misperception. Twenty nonpilots performed tasks in a...journal article 2020

(author), Mulder, Max (author)Objective: We tested whether a procedure in a hexapod simulator can cause incorrect assumptions of the bank angle (i.e., the “leans”) in airline pilots as well as incorrect interpretations of the attitude indicator (AI). Background: The effect of the leans on interpretation errors has previously been demonstrated in nonpilots. In-flight,...journal article 2020
