Objective The primary aims of the study were to replicate the vigilance decrement in the
tactile modality, examine whether a decrease in sensitivity is associated with the decrement …

A performance decline during sustained monitoring of unpredictable and occasional signals,
the vigilance decrement, has been studied mostly in the visual and auditory modalities, but a …

Communicating physiological information via the tactile modality is shown as a promising
means to address data overload faced by anesthesia providers. However, it is important to …

There is a need to find alternative ways to present information to alleviate data overload in
the complex environment of anesthesia monitoring in the operating room. The tactile …

There is a growing interest in using touch to offload the often overburdened visual channel
as its merit has been demonstrated in various work domains. However, more work is needed …

Hospital environments are replete with visual and auditory displays, to the extent that staff
may stop responding to alarms—with potentially grave consequences for patients. The …

Vibro-tactile interfaces were proposed as an alternative to support situation management
and human-machine communication in information-rich domains. Tactile cues can capture …

The task sets for operators in many data-rich domains are characterized by high mental
workload and the need for effective attention management, so the ability to effectively divide …
