Our work aims to understand human attention and memory and to use this knowledge to develop personal technological devices that can respond to our intentions and cognitive states. Combining neuroscience and engineering, we conduct experiments about human behavior, record and analyze physiological signals, and explore emerging technologies.
The lab is directed by Dr. Sam Michalka at Olin College of Engineering and supports deep research experiences for undergraduate students. Check out some of our current projects and reach out to us if you’re interested in getting involved.
