Areas of Research
My main research area is in Human-Computer Interactions. The goal of the research is to suggest principles and methods for facilitating intuitive human interactions within virtual environments (virtual/mixed/augmented reality = XR). Human neural mechanisms underlying visual perception and visually guided actions are being applied to various fields. Specific topics include:
- Investigation and modelling of neural mechanisms underlying high-level visuomotor processes
- Methods for cognitive-ergonomic, multi-sensory, 3D user interactions in XR
- Development of XR applications in various fields (e.g., brain-machine interfaces, human-machine collaboration, visualization and interaction of complex data, immersive analytics, surgical planning systems, etc.)
