    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Partial automation; human factors; event-related potentials; cognitive underload; task interference; additional task; automation experience; automation trust; Partial automation; mänskliga faktorer; Eventrelaterade potentialer; kognitiv underbelastning; arbetsstörningar; sidouppgift; automatiseringserfarenhet; automatiseringsförtroende;

    Abstract : The technological development in recent years is currently reflected in the implementation of more and more advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). A clear example is found in the automated driving systems being marketed today. READ MORE

  5. 3. Human Pheromones : Psychological and Neurological Modulation of a Putative Human Pheromone

    Author : Johan N. Lundström; Mats J. Olsson; Noam Sobel; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Psychology; Pheromones; Odor; Olfaction; Sensitivity; Psychophysiology; Attention; ERP; Mood; Androstadienone; Estratetraenol; Bimodal distribution; Speed of processing; Psykologi; Psychology; Psykologi;

    Abstract : The notion that humans have specialized chemicals used for communication between conspecifics, so-called pheromones, has attracted much attention and discussion. This thesis demonstrates in four separate studies that a human endogenous steroidal compound that is abundant in male sweat, androstadienone, affects women in several ways that differ to that of common odors.

  6. 4. Developing Theoretical and Empirical Definitions of Safety Problems in Driving Suitable for Active Safety Function Evaluation

    Author : Mikael Ljung Aust; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; avoidance; driver behaviour; pre-crash scenarios; crash causation; adaptation; motivation; conceptual framework; active safety functions;

    Abstract : In passive safety, the requirement specifications used for evaluation of protective functions are both standardised and specified at a high level of detail regarding evaluation scenario definition, performance metrics and pass/fail criteria. For active safety, while several propositions for evaluation scenarios have been made, neither these, nor performance metrics and pass/fail criteria have yet reached a similar level of detail and standardisation.

  7. 5. Fear, Startle, and Fear-Potentiated Startle : Probing Emotion in the Human Brain

    Author : Anna Pissiota; Mats Fredrikson; Scott Rauch; Uppsala universitet; []
