The VUCA environment challenged neuropsychological research conducted in conventional laboratories. Researchers expected to perform complex multimodal testing tasks in natural, open, and non-laboratory settings. However, for most neuropsychological scientists, the independent construction of a multimodal laboratory in a VUCA environment, such as a construction site, was a significant and comprehensive technological challenge.

Objective: The study first aims to develop an online digital intervention package based on a commercially released coloring game.
As a convenient device for observing neural activity in the natural environment, portable EEG technology (PEEGT) has an extensive prospect in expanding neuroscience research into natural applications. However, unlike in the laboratory environment, PEEGT is usually applied in a semiconstrained environment, including management and engineering, generating much more artifacts caused by the subjects' activities. Due to the limitations of existing artifacts annotation, the problem limits PEEGT to take advantage of portability and low-test cost, which is a crucial obstacle for the potential application of PEEGT in the natural environment.

Process mining is automated acquisition of process models from event logs. Although many process mining techniques have been developed, most of them are based on control flow. Meanwhile, the existing role-oriented process mining methods focus on correctness and integrity of roles while ignoring role complexity of the process model, which directly impacts understandability and quality of the model.

Emergency has attracted global attentions of government and the public, and it will easily trigger a series of serious social problems if it is not supervised effectively in the dissemination process. In the Internet world, people communicate with each other and form various virtual communities based on social networks, which lead to a complex and fast information spread pattern of emergency events. This paper collects Internet data based on data acquisition and topic detection technology, analyzes the process of information spread on social networks, describes the diffusions and impacts of that information from the perspective of random graph, and finally seeks the key paths through an improved IBF algorithm.

Driven by rapid ongoing advances in humanoid robot, increasing attention has been shifted into the issue of emotion intelligence of AI robots to facilitate the communication between man-machines and human beings, especially for the vocal emotion in interactive system of future humanoid robots. This paper explored the brain mechanism of vocal emotion by studying previous researches and developed an experiment to observe the brain response by fMRI, to analyze vocal emotion of human beings. Findings in this paper provided a new approach to design and evaluate the vocal emotion of humanoid robots based on brain mechanism of human beings.
