One particular approach in the context of Animal Computer Interaction (ACI) is auditory enrichment for captive wild animals.Here we describe our research and the methodology used to design musical instruments and interfaces aimed at providing auditory enrichment for grey parrots living in captivity.The paper is divided into three main phases: a pro
A novel methodology for a time-delayed controller to prevent nonlinear system oscillations
The paper investigates the nonlinear transversal vibrations of a cantilever beam structure in the primary resonance case.A time-delayed position-velocity control is suggested to reduce the nonlinear vibrations of the structure under consideration.A non-perturbative method (NPM) is used to get an equivalent analogous linear differential equation (DE
Exploring the relationships between psychological variables and loot box engagement, part 1: pre-registered hypotheses
Loot boxes are purchasable randomized rewards in video games that share structural and psychological similarities with gambling.Systematic review evidence has established reproducible associations between loot box purchasing and both problem gambling and problem video gaming, perhaps driven by a range of overlapping psychological processes (e.g.imp
