Lenzi, Sara (author), Spagnol, S. (author), Ozcan Vieira, E. (author)There is an increased awareness of how the quality of the acoustic environment impacts the lives of human beings. Several studies have shown that sound pollution has adverse effects on many populations, from infants to adults, in different environments and workplaces. Hospitals are susceptible environments that require special attention since...review 2023

Bazilinskyy, P. (author), Merino Martinez, R. (author), Ozcan Vieira, E. (author), Dodou, D. (author), de Winter, J.C.F. (author)Exterior vehicle sounds have been introduced in electric vehicles and as external human–machine interfaces for automated vehicles. While previous research has studied the effect of exterior vehicle sounds on detectability and acceptance, the present study takes on a different approach by examining the efficacy of such sounds in deterring...journal article 2023

Louwers, G.L.M. (author), Ozcan Vieira, E. (author), Van Bommel, Jasper (author), Pont, S.C. (author)Psychological needs of users as a basis for design are at the core of design practice, yet the importance of fundamental human needs when designing soundscapes has not been studied specifically. This paper investigates the relationship between nine fundamental human needs and the affective qualities and categories of soundscapes. In a free...conference paper 2022

Spagnol, S. (author), Goos, T.G. (author), Reiss, Irwin (author), Ozcan Vieira, E. (author)Inside the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), exposure to loud sounds such as acoustic medical alarms can have adverse effects on neonates, parents, and medical staff. With the aim of having an accurate overview of which and how often acoustic medical alarms occur, this paper presents a simple signal processing-based approach for detecting...conference paper 2022

Bostan, I. (author), Ozcan Vieira, E. (author), Gommers, Diederik (author), van Egmond, R. (author)Nurses rely on patient monitoring systems for care delivery in ICUs. Monitoring systems communicate information to nurses and alert them through audiovisual alarms. However, excessive numbers of alarms often interrupt nurses in their tasks, and desensitize them to alarms. The affective consequence of this problem is that nurses are annoyed and...conference paper 2022

Delle Monache, S. (author), Jia, Doudou (author), Kamphuis, Daan (author), Ozcan Vieira, E. (author)Music as a low-cost sleep aid is a promising way to improve the sleep quality of people. However, most available sleep music playlists are limited to generic, soothing songs, which do not take in account personalisation. In collaboration with the Neurology Department of the Reinier de Graaf hospital (Delft, The Netherlands), we explored a...conference paper 2022

Ozcan Vieira, E. (author), Broekmeulen, C.L.H. (author), Luck, Z.A. (author), van Velzen, Monique (author), Stappers, P.J. (author), Edworthy, J (author)As socio-technological environments shape and direct listener behaviour, an ecologicalaccount is needed that encompasses listening in complexity (i.e., multiple listeners, multiple sounds and their sources, and multiple sound-induced actions that ensure the success of a mission). In this study, we explored sound-induced action under the...journal article 2022

Verstegen, Bas (author), Ozcan Vieira, E. (author), Delle Monache, S. (author)Quantum Mechanics could have fundamental impact on design models and measurement. Quantum mechanics allows us to fill in the blanks of classical models of design, through its ability to explain ambiguous states of design. An ambiguous state is where design exists in between two binary states, as a superposition. Designers are most likely to...conference paper 2022

Ozcan Vieira, E. (author), Liu, Y. (author), Vroon, Jered (author), Kamphuis, Daan (author), Spagnol, S. (author)Good sleep is conducive to the recovery process of hospital patients - and yet, in many wards, sleep duration and quality can often be suboptimal, in part due to modifiable hospital-related sounds and noises. At the neurological ward of the Reinier de Graaf hospital in Delft, the Netherlands, we developed and evaluated a prototype information...conference paper 2022

Delle Monache, S. (author), Misdariis, Nicolas (author), Ozcan Vieira, E. (author)Sound-driven design is an emerging, human-centered design practice informed by technology and listening in the multisensory dimension of interaction. In this paper we present a discourse analysis approach aimed at qualitatively understanding the constituent concepts of such a practice, by means of semi-structured interviews with sound...conference paper 2021

Ozkaramanli, D (author), Desmet, P.M.A. (author), Ozcan Vieira, E. (author)Personal dilemmas are inspiring phenomena, which can stimulate design creativity and reflection on users’ goals and values. This paper aims to provide an overview of the main challenges involved in Dilemma-Driven Design (DDD). We first introduce three main activities performed when designing with dilemmas: Identifying dilemmas (discovery),...journal article 2020

Sanz Segura, R. (author), Manchado-Perez, Eduardo (author), Ferrer-Duce, Maria Pilar (author), Gonzalez de la Cuesta, Delia (author), Ozcan Vieira, E. (author)Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICU) are environments with a high level of sensory stress. Medical advances and technology have contributed to increase the ratio of survival of premature infants but some devices and practices expose these babies to excessive noise and toxic sensory stimuli for which they are not prepared. This is related to...conference paper 2020

Birdja, D.V. (author), Ozcan Vieira, E. (author)In this paper, the sleep phenomenon is considered in relation to critical care soundscapes with the intention to inform hospital management, medical device producers and policy makers regarding the complexity of the issue and possible modes of design interventions. We propose a comprehensive strategy based on soundscape design approach that...journal article 2019

Sanz Segura, R. (author), Manchado Pérez, Eduardo (author), Ozcan Vieira, E. (author)Intensive care units are technologically advanced environments that are designed to safeguard the patient while their vitals are stabilized for further treatment. Audible and visual alarms are part of the healthcare ecology. However, these alarms are so many that clinicians suffer from a syndrome called 'alarm fatigue' and often do not comply...conference paper 2019

Ozkaramanli, D. (author), Desmet, P.M.A. (author), Ozcan Vieira, E. (author)Users often have conflicting concerns (i.e., dilemmas), such as ‘embracing change vs. following tradition.’ Design can resolve these dilemmas through simultaneously fulfilling conflicting user concerns. This paper proposes three abstraction levels for framing user concerns when formulating dilemmas. In a large-scale industry project, we...journal article 2018

Ozkaramanli, D. (author), Ozcan Vieira, E. (author), Desmet, P.M.A. (author)This paper suggests that designers can frame user behaviour in terms of the conflicts between long-term goals and immediate desires (i.e. self-control dilemmas), and address these conflicts by facilitating the pursuit of long-term goals. A phenomenological study provided an understanding of self-control dilemmas and the strategies people use to...journal article 2017

Ozcan Vieira, E. (author), Cupchik, Gerald C. (author), Schifferstein, Hendrik N.J. (author)A product has multiple sensory properties, each of which can be evaluated on its affective quality. In the current study, we investigated differences in the evaluation of the affective quality of auditory and visual product appearances and their potential contribution to the overall (auditory-visual) affective quality of domestic appliances....journal article 2017

Schifferstein, H.N.J. (author), Özcan Vieira, E. (author), Rozendaal, M.C. (author)Recent years have shown the introduction of several types of smart products. These products gather data about user behaviour and try to determine an optimal response, in order to make the user’s life easier. However, some smart products also lead to user behaviour that is undesirable. Hence, we would like to introduce a new design paradigm...conference paper 2015

Ozcan Vieira, E. (author), Van Egmond, R. (author), Jacobs, J.J. (author)In this paper we investigated which categories of product sounds listeners can distinguish. We explored the perceptual domain of product sounds in order to be able to derive perceptually similar categories and determine how users are able to describe these categories by merely listening to them. Employing two different experimental paradigms ...journal article 2014
