Toward more usable electronic voting: testing the usability of a smartphone voting system.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:We describe major discoveries and developments in vigilance research. BACKGROUND:Vigilance tasks have typically been viewed as undemanding assignments requiring little mental effort. The vigilance decrement function has also been considered to result from a decline in arousal brought about by understimulatio...
