"Neuroscientists from KU Leuven measure brainwaves to determine whether people understand what they hear": https://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2018-03/kl-gtm030718.php
The new technique was developed by Professor Tom Francart and his colleagues from the Department of Neurosciences at KU Leuven, Belgium, in collaboration with the University of Maryland. It will allow for a more accurate diagnosis of patients who cannot actively participate in a speech understanding test because they're too young, for instance, or because they're in a coma. In the longer term, the method also holds potential for the development of smart hearing devices.

Smartphones are a strange medium: For every bit of global situational awareness gained, the same amount of local situational awareness is lost.

Familiarisation: Restructuring Layouts with Visual Learning Models:
www.kashyaptodi.com/familiarisation/ #ML
Abstract: "In domains where users are exposed to large variations in visuo-spatial features among designs, they often spend excess time searching for common elements (features) in familiar locations. This paper contributes computational approaches to restructuring layouts such that features on a new, unvisited interface can be found quicker. We explore four concepts of familiarisation, inspired by the human visual system, to automatically generate a familiar design for each user. Given a history of previously visited interfaces, we restructure the spatial layout of the new (unseen) interface with the goal of making its elements more easily found. Familiariser is a browser-based implementation that automatically restructures webpage layouts based on the visual history of the user. Our evaluation with users provides first evidence favouring familiarisation."
