Pioneering Research on Cybersickness and Enhancing User Experience
At the Multisensory Brain and Cognition Laboratory, our research explores the intricacies of cybersickness, a phenomenon that affects many users of virtual and augmented reality technologies. Our dedicated team of researchers is committed to understanding the underlying mechanisms of cybersickness and developing effective interventions to minimize its impact on user experience. By measuring, predicting, and designing countermeasures to alleviate cybersickness, we aim to promote healthy technology use and improve the overall experience of digital devices.
To achieve our goals, we employ a variety of cutting-edge methods, including motion capture, psychophysics, computational modeling, physiological measures, and behavioral assessments. These approaches allow us to study cybersickness in different populations and under various conditions, providing valuable insights into its causes, effects, and potential remedies. Our research not only contributes to the scientific understanding of cybersickness but also informs the design of more user-friendly digital environments, ensuring that virtual and augmented reality technologies can be enjoyed safely and comfortably by a wide range of users.
At the Multisensory Brain and Cognition Laboratory, we are driven by our passion for unlocking the mysteries of human perception and cognition in the digital age. Our research on cybersickness is just one example of our commitment to advancing knowledge in this area and translating our findings into practical solutions that improve people's lives. We invite you to learn more about our work on cybersickness and join us in our pursuit of knowledge as we explore the frontiers of human perception, cognition, and technology use.
Welcome to the Multisensory Brain and Cognition Laboratory, where curiosity, innovation, and scientific rigor come together to shape the future of digital experiences and promote the well-being of technology users.
