Research Interests<\/h4>\n

The objective of my research is to discover fundamental principles of human perception and cognition and to apply these principles to the design, implementation and evaluation of advanced human-machine systems. \u00a0My lab<\/a>, located in the\u00a0Visualization and Simulation Centre (VSIM)<\/a>, is very interdisciplinary and involves students not only from Psychology, but from Cognitive Science, Biology and Engineering.<\/p>\n
