    Practical Advice to Entrepreneurs Series by ACE Adjunct Professor Dean Shepherd: Practical advice on managing new venture survival

    No full text
    The author, Dean Shepherd, is of entrepreneurship—how entrepreneurs think, decide to act, and feel. He recently realized that while his publications in academic journals have implications for entrepreneurs, those implications have remained relatively hidden in the text of the articles and hidden in articles published in journals largely inaccessible to those involved in the entrepreneurial process. This series is designed to bring the practical implications of his research to the forefront

    Estimating cognitive workload using a commercial in-ear EEG headset

    No full text
    Objective: this study investigated the potential of estimating various mental workload levels during two different tasks using a commercial in-ear electroencephalography (EEG) system, the IDUN 'Guardian'. Approach. Participants performed versions of two classical workload tasks: an n-back task and a mental arithmetic task. Both in-ear and conventional EEG data were simultaneously collected during these tasks. In an effort to facilitate a more comprehensive comparison, the complexity of the tasks was intentionally increased beyond typical levels. Special emphasis was also placed on understanding the significance of γ band activity in workload estimations. Therefore, each signal was analyzed across low frequency (1–35 Hz) and high frequency (1–100 Hz) ranges. Additionally, surrogate in-ear EEG measures, derived from the conventional EEG recordings, were extracted and examined. Main results: workload estimation using in-ear EEG yielded statistically significant performance levels, surpassing chance levels with 44.1% for four classes and 68.4% for two classes in the n-back task and was better than a naive predictor for the mental arithmetic task. Conventional EEG exhibited significantly higher performance compared to in-ear EEG, achieving 80.3% and 92.9% accuracy for the respective tasks, along with lower error rates than the naive predictor. The developed surrogate measures achieved improved results, reaching accuracies of 57.5% and 85.5%, thus providing insights for enhancing future in-ear systems. Notably, most high frequency range signals outperformed their low frequency counterparts in terms of accuracy validating that high frequency γ band features can improve workload estimation. Significance: the application of EEG-based Brain–Computer Interfaces beyond laboratory settings is often hindered by practical limitations. In-ear EEG systems offer a promising solution to this problem, potentially enabling everyday use. This study evaluates the performance of a commercial in-ear headset and provides guidelines for increased effectiveness

    William Dean Howells photograph

    This is a portrait of journalist and author William Dean Howells, ca. 1900. Howells was born on March 1, 1837, in Martinsville (now Martins Ferry), Ohio, but later moved with his family to Hamilton, Dayton, Xenia, Columbus, Ashtabula and finally Jefferson. By his early 20s, Howells had become a newspaper reporter; he also began to write poetry and published his first collection in 1859. The Atlantic Monthly also began to publish his literary work, and Howells' reputation grew quickly. In 1860, the Republican Party selected him to write a biography of their presidential candidate, Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln won the election of 1860 and rewarded Howells by appointing him the United States Consul to Venice. Howells remained in this position until 1865, when he returned to the United States and became an editor with The Atlantic Monthly, and later with Harper's and Cosmopolitan. Howells became a well-known novelist during the late 19th century, publishing his first novel, "Their Wedding Journey," in 1872. He authored 35 novels over the next fifty years, as well as numerous short stories, plays, and poems. Howells was the first president of the American Academy of Arts and Letters. He died on May 11, 1920
