Product-emotion-meter helps in product design
Choosing a product is largely an emotional process. The subject of Pieter Desmet's research project was to try to unravel this relationship between product and emotion. Along with his research, he also developed a Product-Emotion meter (PrEmo) with which emotions towards a product can be measured. Desmet will defend his thesis on Tuesday 25 June... view more...

First results of the Narval trial (ANRS 088)
Patients with HIV infection may develop resistance to one or more of antiretroviral drugs to which they are exposed during treatment. The selection of the most appropriate drugs for switching therapy in patients who have developed resistance, is a difficult challenge. Both, genetic tests that identify mutations in viral genes associated with... view more... (2000-04-21)
Ergonomics helps autistic children
A research team comprising of an ergonomist, autism expert and interactive design and media artists, are using ergonomics to design an interactive, polysensory environment for children with ASD (autistic spectrum disorders) to meet the youngsters' needs in a way that can be tailorable to specific needs. Delegates to the Ergonomics Society Annual... view more... (2004-04-13)
