Here, we present a systematic approach for developing physiologically relevant, sensitive and specific in vivo assays for interpreting variation in human pathology. Transient genetic manipulation via microinjection of WT and mutant human mRNA and morpholino (MO) antisense oligonucleotides harness the tractability of the developing zebrafish embryo to rapidly assay pathogenic mutations, especially, but not exclusively, in the context of human developmental disorders.

2016
Repeated pulmonary lavages in anesthetized pigs induce lung injury resembling major aspects of human acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). For this purpose the lungs are repeatedly lavaged with 0.9% saline at 37 °C. The goal of the protocol is a reproducible mitigation of gas exchange and hemodynamics for research in ARDS.
FAQs
Usability modeling connects user characteristics, task demands, and interface features to observable performance. This structure lets a researcher examine whether a difficulty arises from the person-system interaction, the task demands, or the design itself. Relating these inputs to completion time, errors, cognitive workload, and perceived ease of use makes the model useful for predicting specific usability outcomes.
Task models organize the demands of an interaction so researchers can relate them to interface features and user performance. They provide a structured basis for considering where completion may become difficult, inefficient, or cognitively demanding. When paired with empirical validation, task models help determine whether predicted usability problems appear in observed behavior rather than remaining only theoretical.
Each outcome captures a different aspect of interaction quality. Completion time indicates efficiency, errors reveal problems with accurate performance, cognitive workload reflects the mental demands of use, and perceived ease of use captures the user’s reported experience. Considering these measures together gives a broader evaluation than relying on a single performance indicator.
Empirical validation tests whether the relationships represented by a model correspond to actual user performance. Researchers can compare predictions with observed completion times, errors, workload, or perceived ease of use. This process supports more reliable conclusions about an interface or experimental system and helps distinguish a useful model from one that does not explain measured outcomes.
Begin by identifying the relevant user characteristics, task demands, and interface features. Next, represent how these factors are expected to affect measurable outcomes, such as accuracy, efficiency, workload, or ease of use. Finally, evaluate those expectations with empirical observations. The resulting evidence can reveal barriers, support design decisions, and improve the reliability of system use.
For brain-computer interfaces, the approach can connect user characteristics and task demands with interface features and measurable performance outcomes. Modeling may reveal barriers that affect accurate or efficient interaction, including increased cognitive workload or difficulty completing tasks. Addressing such barriers can support safer experiments, more reliable data collection, and more effective user-centered development.
Neuroimaging protocols and rehabilitation technologies depend on people interacting with systems in ways that support usable experiments or clinical applications. Usability modeling can identify barriers before they compromise performance or data collection. In rehabilitation settings, the same analysis supports user-centered clinical translation by linking system demands with outcomes such as efficiency, errors, workload, and perceived ease of use.
