A Valuable Service: The Practical Application of Photography at Drexel (6/6/2022)

Mon, 6 Jun 2022 13:00:00 GMT

Start Date:	6/6/2022	Start Time:	9:00 AM
End Date:	6/6/2022	End Time:	5:00 PM

Exhibition from April 28, 2022 through October 28, 2022. This exhibition in the Rincliffe Gallery at Drexel University's Main Building explores photography’s role within Drexel University and its collections. The show will connect the works of the collections and the work being created at Drexel to the history of photography and its uses. From tourist photography, to photojournalism, to museum documentation, photography’s importance to society and to Drexel will be explored, explained, and celebrated. Curated by Mary Elizabeth Kulesa, photography & art history ’22. Exhibition Design by Julia Thompson, graphic design ’22.

An opening reception will be held on April 28th from 5-7pm in the Rincliffe Gallery & A.J. Drexel Picture Gallery. Please RSVP.

Abstract:
Cognitive workload changes in the assessment of human performance have long been monitored through the use of subjective self-reports, physiological, or neuro-physiological measures. Wearable sensors allow us to monitor direct physiological changes associated with cognitive workload in real time. This thesis focuses on utilizing multiple physiological and neurological measures: functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), eye-tracking, electrodermal activity, heart rate, and respiratory rate; in order to assess cognitive workload changes during different simulation-based tasks designed within the context of Federal Law Enforcement Training. The primary objective is to use multi-modal sensors and a machine learning (ML) approach as an objective assessment method and to investigate which set of biometrics serves as the best predictor of cognitive workload.

To achieve this objective, several biometrics, including prefrontal cortex (PFC) oxygenation changes, heart rate, and respiratory rate, were collected in both high and low workload conditions in simulated use of force (UOF) scenarios. These biometrics were then used to train logistic regression, feature mapping, SVM and LDA classifiers. F1-score and accuracy measures were used to evaluate the performance of these classifiers. Oxygenation changes in the left anterior medial PFC region and the combined biomarkers including oxygenation changes in the PFC and heart rate revealed the highest performing feature sets across all the classifiers. Future work should include the use of non-linear classification models and study of additional biomarkers to enhance training outcomes and performance.

A New Kind of House (6/6/2022)

Mon, 6 Jun 2022 19:30:00 GMT

Start Date:	6/6/2022	Start Time:	3:30 PM
End Date:	6/6/2022	End Time:	5:00 PM

Exhibition from March 11, 2022 through March 2023. On March 11, the Anthony J. Drexel Picture Gallery in the Main Building will open A New Kind of House, a year-long exhibition celebrating eight years of Writers Room—a university-community literary arts program engaged in creative placemaking and art for social justice. The photography and writing of students and neighbors, displayed alongside and in conversation with pieces from The Drexel Collection, will engage in a rich dialogue about the changing face of our university and surrounding neighborhoods.

Writers Room is a diverse, intergenerational collective of students/alumni, faculty/staff, and neighborhood residents whose work demonstrates a desire for collaborative opportunities in our joint communities. A New Kind of House is created in partnership between Writers Room, ArtistYear and The Drexel Collection. Supported in part by Canon CSA and the Philadelphia Cultural Fund. The exhibition is curated by Lori Waselchuk.

Please RSVP for the opening reception on March 11th from 4-6pm.

For more information on the Writers Room please visit our website at www.writersroomdrexel.org.

The exhibition is free and open to the public Monday - Friday 3:30-5pm or by appointment.
