open-science-plan-TEMPLATE.pdf Since the beginning of 2018, we have adopted Open Science practices in our group. Why? For reasons related to ethics, quality, and impact. We are mostly funded by taxpayers, in the European context for example by the ERC. We are — morally and increasingly also legally — obliged to make our work as widely…
Yi-Chi Liao was born in Kaohsiung City, Taiwan. He received his Bachelor of Business Administration (B.B.A.) and Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.) degree from National Taiwan University in Information Management Department. During the master years, Yi-Chi explored some novel haptic and touch interaction with Professor Bing-Yu Chen and Professor Liwei Chan. In the PhD studies,…

From: http://www.aalto.fi/en/current/news/2018-04-05/ An online study with 168,000 people shows large variation in typing speeds and styles. The dataset is the largest ever on everyday typing and exposed several factors that differentiate fast vs. slow typists. In addition to making less errors, the researchers found that fastest typists rely on so-called "rollover" where a letter…

March 22, 2018 Dr. Esko Kurvinen, Service Design Lead at Elisa Oyj, a large IT service and telecommunications operator in Finland, gave a talk today on evolution of user-centered design practice for our class Research Project in Human-Computer Interaction. The point of departure for the talk was a tension between “classic” user-centered design versus…

Emotionally intelligent people are able to use the ability in controlling their own emotion processes as well as understand others’ emotions when interacting with them. In order to interact fluently in a social environment,…
