Title: Love [Editorial]
Abstract: So many decisions we make in life can be stripped down to the choice between love and fear.
Do you stay in a safe relationship that isn’t right for you, or do you face uncertainty and start over? Do you take a new job opportunity that pushes you outside your comfort zone, or do you choose to stay in the role you’re in where you’re familiar with how things function? Do you keep your child within arm’s reach so you can protect them, or do you let them go out into the world to explore and discover life for themselves?2019-01-01T00:00:00ZEyes front!

Title: Eyes front!
Abstract: How often do your date’s eyes glance down at your chest? Which products do people notice in a supermarket? How long does it take you to read a billboard?
Eye trackers are helping researchers around the world answer questions like these. From analysing user experience to developing a new generation of video games, this technology offers a novel way of interacting with machines. People with disabilities, for example, can use them to control computers. A team at the Department of Systems and Control Engineering (University of Malta) is using a research-grade eye-gaze tracker, worth around €40,000, to test technologies they are planning to commercialise soon.2019-01-01T00:00:00ZSharing a love for cycling

Title: Sharing a love for cycling
Abstract: It's not even a stereotype — the Dutch are practically born on a bicycle. I received my first two-wheeled friend as a birthday present when I was just three years old, and I have never looked
back. From age ten onwards, I cycled to school and everywhere else on my own, and when I was a student, I used to spend one and a half hours every day cycling to my university campus in Utrecht. I only learned that cycling is not such an obvious choice as a mode of transport once I started travelling to other countries, and that hard truth particularly hit home when I moved to Malta seven years ago. Cycling changed from lifestyle to a research interest.2019-01-01T00:00:00Z
