Welcome to the
Visual Cognition Lab
We are interested in understanding the mechanisms underlying human cognitive processes in novel interaction environments (e.g., VR/AR, Social XR, Human-AI). Our research examines how factors such as prior experience, knowledge, and context shape human cognition and emotion when engaging with multisensory content.
About Our Lab
The Visual Cognition Lab (VCL) uses converging methodologies from Cognitive Neuroscience, including cognitive behavioral experiments, eye-tracking, and physiological measures (e.g., EEG, ECG, EDA, EMG) with human participants.
Our Research Focus
Our work spans three research axes: Cognitive Science, Human-centered Interaction Technology, and Social Cognition.
Cognitive Science
Uncovering how humans process multisensory information in new media environments, grounded in Psychology and Neuroscience
Human-centered Interaction Technology
Designing interaction techniques based on human cognitive and behavioral principles
Social Cognition
Understanding and enhancing social experience and collaboration in novel interaction environments (e.g., XR, Human-AI)
