Autonomic responses to pressure sensitivity of head, face and neck: Heart rate and skin conductance

Wenxiu Yang, Tingshu Chen, Renke He, Richard Goossens, Toon Huysmans

Summary: This study collected autonomic response data (heart rate and skin conductance) from 30 landmarks in the head, neck, and face of 31 participants experiencing pressure discomfort and pain. The results showed that pressure stimulation can change heart rate and skin conductance, with skin conductance being more useful in assessing pressure discomfort and possessing a faster arousal rate. There were gender differences in subjective pressure thresholds and autonomic responses, but no linear correlation between them. This study has significant implications for resolving ergonomic issues associated with head-related products.

Time as a Research Lens: A Conceptual Review and Research Agenda

Blagoy Blagoev, Tor Hernes, Sven Kunisch, Majken Schultz

Summary: Time is recognized as an important research perspective, but its assumptions, concepts, and boundaries vary across different fields. This diversity offers depth and relevance for research, but also hinders integration. To address this, an integrative framework is proposed, connecting and contrasting the three dominant manifestations of the temporal lens: time as resource, time as structure, and time as process. Opportunities for future research are identified by analyzing the insights of these lenses and discussing pathways for further exploration.

Astrid C. Homan, Florian Wanders, Annelies E. M. van Vianen, Gerben A. van Kleef
