Improving Attention Using Wearables via Haptic and Multimodal Rhythmic Stimuli by Whitmore, Nathan W, Chan, Samantha, Zhang, Jingru, Chwalek, Patrick, Chin, Sam, Maes, Pattie

“…We found that combined sound and light stimuli from a glasses device provided the strongest improvement to attention but were the least usable and socially acceptable. Haptic vibration stimuli from a wristband also improved attention and were the most usable and socially acceptable. …”

Quantification of capsaicinoids in chillies by solid-phase extraction coupled with voltammetry by Chan, Kwok Kiong, Muhammad Shafique Bin Hamid, Webster, Richard David

“…Linear calibration curves for voltammetry measurements were obtained from low ppm up to at least 1400 ppm of capsaicinoids, with concentrations being detected in the different source extracts (paprika, tabasco sauce, cayenne pepper, and fresh chillies) from approximately 17 to 430 ppm, which corresponded to values of between approximately 130 and 4000 ppm, respectively, present in the original samples.…”
