By blurring the boundaries between digital and physical realities, Augmented Reality (AR) is transforming consumers' perceptions of themselves and their environments. This review demonstrates AR's capacity to influence psychology and behavior in profound ways. We begin by providing a concise introduction to AR, considering its technical, practical, and theoretical properties. Next, we showcase a multi-disciplinary set of recent studies that explore AR's impact on psychological processes and behavioral outcomes. We conclude by offering a selection of potential future research directions designed to deepen our understanding of the psychological and behavioral implications of AR experiences.

Decoding uncertainty for clinical decision-making.

Philos Trans A Math Phys Eng Sci

March 2025

Injury, Recovery and Inflammation Sciences Academic Unit, School of Medicine and National Institute for Health and Care Research, Nottingham Biomedical Research Centre, University of Nottingham, Nottingham, UK.

In this opinion piece, we examine the pivotal role that uncertainty quantification (UQ) plays in informing clinical decision-making processes. We explore challenges associated with healthcare data and the potential barriers to the widespread adoption of UQ methodologies. In doing so, we highlight how these techniques can improve the precision and reliability of medical evaluations.

Uncertainty quantification (UQ) is an essential aspect of computational modelling and statistical prediction. Multiple applications, including geophysics, climate science and aerospace engineering, incorporate UQ in the development and translation of new technologies. In contrast, the application of UQ to biological and healthcare models is understudied and suffers from several critical knowledge gaps.

When predicting physical phenomena through simulation, quantification of the total uncertainty due to multiple sources is as crucial as making sure the underlying numerical model is accurate. Possible sources include irreducible uncertainty due to noise in the data, uncertainty induced by insufficient data or inadequate parameterization and uncertainty related to the use of misspecified model equations. In addition, recently proposed approaches provide flexible ways to combine information from data with full or partial satisfaction of equations that typically encode physical principles.

Computational modelling of the cardiovascular system is a promising future direction for patient-specific healthcare. However, the computational cost of these simulators is a bottleneck for their practical use in clinic for real-time . Emulation can overcome this, yet an extensive investigation into cardiovascular emulators is warranted.
