We are dedicated to groundbreaking research
that uses simulated environment and real-world scenarios to human behavior

Human Factors is a cross-disciplinary field that "examines the relationship between human beings and the systems with which they interact, and focuses on improving efficiency, productivity, creativity and job satisfaction, with the goal of minimizing errors" (World Health Organization). In the Human Systems Lab, we leverage our expertise in Psychology, Kinesiology, and Engineering to solve real-world challenges in manufacturing, transportation and beyond.

    In this research we use brain sensors to investigate the human factors that using genAI tools like ChatGPT has on cognition, memory and skill development. 

  • We use Virtual Reality to investigate how humans interact with machines in driving, manufacturing and the military. We combine VR with eye-tracking, physiological, and neuroimaging techniques to measure the human behavior.
