Research Interests<\/h4>\n\n\n\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.  My lab<\/a>, located in the Visualization and Simulation Centre (VSIM)<\/a>, is very interdisciplinary and involves students not only from Psychology, but from Cognitive Science, Biology and Engineering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
