People are equipped with sensory systems that enable them to communicate with their surroundings and products. User-product interaction has a multi-sensory nature that includes vision, touch, kinesthetic, audition, smell and taste. Each sensory system is simultaneously active during an interaction. However, the role of other sensory qualities besides visual in product interactions and their contribution to the product experience are often overlooked. By taking multisensory nature of interaction into consideration, this study examines the importance of the senses, the specific roles of different sensory information and their interrelationships. Field research aimed at collecting users' appraisals of product interactions by senses has been shaped as a chain of methods based on three different research methods (observation and shadowing, post-questionnaire and in-depth interview).The study in which two electric small household appliances (tea maker and vacuum cleaner) were used as example product, was conducted with the participation of 12 users. According to the results of the questionnaire focusing on the importance of the senses during interactions, sensory dominance varies depending on the type of product, the phases of product use, and the tasks performed during these phases. The participants' statements collected from observation and shadowing of product usage and follow-up interview stages were content analyzed. As a result of the analysis, it was presented what the appraisal criteria for each type of sensory information are, how these criteria vary according to different senses, how the relationship between different type of sensory information is appraised.

Kullanıcı-ürün etkileşiminin çok duyulu doğası: küçük ev aletleri üzerine bir çalışma Coşkun, Merve; Şener Pedgley, Bahar (2018-01-01) insanlar, çevreleri ve ürünlerle iletişim kurmalarını sağlayan duyu sistemleriyle donatılmıştır. Kullanıcı-ürün etkileşimi; görme, dokunma, kinestetik, işitme, koku ve tat almayı kapsayan çok duyulu bir doğaya sahiptir. Etkileşim sırasında her bir duyusal sistem aktif ve eşzamanlı olarak görev alır. Ancak görsel dışındaki duyusal niteliklerin ürün etkileşimlerindeki rolleri ve ürün deneyimine katkıları çoğunlukla gözden kaçırılmaktadır. Bu çalışma, etkileşimin çok duyulu doğasını gözönünde bulundurarak, etk...
Recurrence quantification analysis of group eye tracking data Tajaddini, Mani; Acartürk, Cengiz; Department of Cognitive Sciences (2018) Eye movements can provide insight into the cognitive processes behind them. To study group cognition through investigating eye movements, we have developed a software tool (GETapp) to collect eye movement data from groups of participants performing a task on a set of computers in the scope of the Group Eye Tracking (GET) paradigm. Like many real-world systems, the data from group eye tracking experiments are non-linear. We have developed a software tool, a package for the R programming language, called the ...
Single and Multiple-Access Channel Capacity in Molecular Nanonetworks Atakan, Baris; Akan, Ozgur B. (2009-10-20) Molecular communication is a new nano-scale communication paradigm that enables nanomachines to communicate with each other by emitting molecules to their surrounding environment. Nanonetworks are also envisioned to be composed of a number of nanomachines with molecular communication capability that are deployed in an environment to share specific molecular information such as odor, flavour, light, or any chemical state. In this paper, using the principles of natural ligand-receptor binding mechanisms in bi...
User experience over time with conversational agents: case study of woebot on supporting subjective well-being Demirci, Hatice Merve; Töre Yargın, Gülşen; Department of Industrial Design (2018) Technological advancements re-shaped user-product interactions by enabling people to make conversation with interactive systems. This new form of interaction led designers to create a new type of user interface: Conversational User Interface (CUI). Expensive psychological therapy fees and people’s increased awareness related to importance of well-being attracted the interactive system developers to create a domain specific Conversational Agent, which is particularly focusing on psychological terapy and has ...
Statistical Approaches for the Analysis of Dependency Among Neurons Under Noise Gençağa, Deniz; Ayan, Sevgi Şengül; Farnoudkia, Hajar; Okuyucu, Serdar (MDPI AG, 2020-3-28) Neuronal noise is a major factor affecting the communication between coupled neurons. In this work, we propose a statistical toolset to infer the coupling between two neurons under noise. We estimate these statistical dependencies from data which are generated by a coupled Hodgkin–Huxley (HH) model with additive noise. To infer the coupling using observation data, we employ copulas and information-theoretic quantities, such as the mutual information (MI) and the transfer entropy (TE). Copulas and MI between...
