The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the effects of 7% hypertonic saline (HS) delivered by nebulizer on mucociliary clearance (MCC) - a test that shows the rate at which a person's lungs can clear inhaled particles. We will compare the rate of MCC at baseline (before treatment with HS), with MCC after a single dose of HS (acute treatment), and with MCC after two weeks of treatment with HS twice a day after 12 hours from the last dose of HS (sustained effect). We will also assess response to HS with other outcomes (lung function testing, changes in phlegm/mucus, and survey responses). If we find there is a sustained effect of HS, this would support the use of HS as part of airway clearance for people with bronchiectasis.
The purpose of this study is to test a brain stimulation device in Adults with Depression. We aim to make sure the device functions as designed and appropriately stores and transmits data.
The purpose of this research study is to investigate how human interpret some predictive learned by AI systems when detecting deceptive hotel reviews and how AI explanations can shape human understanding. For instance, the AI system learns that words like "floor" and "bathroom" are highly predictive of genuine reviews and words like "husband" and "luxury" are highly predictive of deceptive reviews. While the AI system highlights these words by learning from the data, the association between these words and the outcome are not easy to comprehend for humans. Thus, our goal of this research is to investigate how participants interact with machine-generated explanations that are unintuitive, and how participants make use of our developed visualizations and tools to make sense of these unintuitive features.
