Capturing Interaction Quality in Long Duration (Simulated) Space Missions with Wearables

Space exploration is evolving with the recent increase in interest and investment. For the success of planned long-duration crewed missions, good interpersonal interactions between crew members are crucial. In this study, we evaluate the use of wearables for detection and estimation of the quality of each social interaction participants have...

TeamSense: Assessing Personal Affect and Group Cohesion in Small Teams through Dyadic Interaction and Behavior Analysis with Wearable Sensors

Continuous monitoring with unobtrusive wearable social sensors is becoming a popular method to assess individual affect states and team effectiveness in human research. A large number of applications have demonstrated the effectiveness of applying wearable sensing in corporate settings; for example, in short periodic social events or in a...

Discovering Digital Representations for Remembered Episodes from Lifelog Data

Combining self-reports in which individuals reflect on their thoughts and feelings (Experience Samples) with sensor data collected via ubiquitous monitoring can provide researchers and applications with detailed insights about human behavior and psychology. However, meaningfully associating these two sources of data with each other is difficult:...

The I in Team: Mining Personal Social Interaction Routine with Topic Models from Long-Term Team Data

Social interaction plays a key role in assessing teamwork and collaboration. It becomes particularly critical in team performance when coupled with isolated, confined, and extreme conditions such as undersea missions. This work investigates how social interactions of individual members in a small team evolve during the course of a long...
