24 +For this week's lecture, Professor Rebecca Schaefer gave a very interesting talk about how cognitive changes occur with dementia and how interventions can be designed and measured to enhance cognitive stimulation in a person with dementia. She also talked about the psychology of music and how music stimulates the brain. She further explained how music intervention can be designed for people with dementia and the benefits it can have.

27 +While our use case does not directly involve music in the solution design, this lecture inspired me and my teammates to incorporate music in the interactive storytelling intervention that we were focusing on building. We discussed using pleasant background music during narration to provide a more immersive storytelling experience, along with playing the PwD's favourite songs while they ate. The cognitive stimulatory benefits of music therapy as discussed in the lecture provided for a solid foundation for this consideration.

32 +The lab session revisited the steps of the SCE method, with a focus on the Foundation part and an emphasis on Inclusive Design. 
33 +We also discussed in detail about our personas and their associated value stories, in order to inform our design decisions better. 
34 +Then we were introduced to scenario-based design and its benefits in reflecting the current situation (problem scenario) and the envisioned future (design scenario). We used our personas and value stories to formulate the problem and design scenario which would then be formalized into our main Use Case.
26 26  
36 +We focused on defining our environment and stakeholders and further developing our personas and enhancing the problem and design scenarios for the rest of the week. Building the scenarios helped to reflect on the reasons why we were building a human-robot interaction system in the first place, and allowed for a visualization how we would want the interactions to flow.
