Our lab was out in full force this week at #CogSci2023, with posters from Laura, Garston, Laiton, Jonothan, Hayley, and Rachael. As you can see, our team were busy answering lots of questions about their work! @wallLaura2 @Laiton_Hedley @hayleycullen_ @rachaelawynne

Recent research from the @NewcastleCogLab.
We compared the performance efficiency of Human & Hybrid Human-Machine teams. Interestingly, under collaborative conditions, dyadic human performance was more efficient than Hybrid Human-Machine teams.

Our latest paper from the @AppliedPsychLab at @Uni_Newcastle. The paper highlights the loss of situation awareness at critical takeovers, and fits into a broader trend pointing to under arousal as a looming problem in L3+ #automateddriving.

Ami Eidels gave a fantastic talk yesterday at EPC on “group performance in human-human and human-bot teams”. Ami also said it perfectly: if you are planning on attending CogSci in July, then stop past @Psychology_UON for a visit! #EPC2023

This was a seriously fantastic talk at EPC yesterday by PhD candidate Yeow Khoon Pua, who used mathematical models to look at the “mindful appraisal of facial expressions”. Amazing work, Yeow Khoon!

[Newcastle Cognition Lab @NewcastleCogLab]

Last but certainly not least from our lab at EPC yesterday: Alexandra Adams gave an entertaining and truly fascinating talk on “blue poo and the brain: what can a novel measure of gut function tell us about the microbiota-gut-brain axis?” #EPC2023 @expsyaunz

[Newcastle Cognition Lab @NewcastleCogLab]

Our fantastic PhD candidate Laiton Hedley gave an incredible presentation at EPC yesterday on “the relationship between teaming behaviours and joint capacity of hybrid human-machine teams.” Great job, @Laiton_Hedley #EPC2023

As usual, Faye Nitschke gave an incredibly impressive talk at #EPC2023 yesterday, detailing three studies looking at “perceptions of emotions from female and male complainants of sexual violence” @ts_faye

Very proud of Tin Nguyen for giving a fantastic talk to a large audience (and on a cinema-sized TV!) yesterday at #EPC2023. Tin’s talk was titled “Does allowing for changes of mind influence initial responses?”
