Our Research
Basic science
Spatial behavior across the reality spectrum
How do we remember where things are? And how does the accuracy of our memory differ between the real world, virtual and augmented reality scenarios?
Neural representations of space
How do we represent our surroundings in our brain? we use fMRI, ECoG and EEG to unravel spatial features such as location and movement speed and attempt to bridge the gap between the rich world of invasive electrophysiology in animal models to the lower resolution available in humans
Multisensory interactions
What happens when our senses become less reliable or even offer conflicting information? We use XR tools to manipulate sensory channels, inducing clashes and disrupting fidelity to test sensory integration
Applied science
Remote interaction
The the downsides of remote communication frustrated us all over the past past two years. We are exploring how spatial aspects can improve this experience, such as by comparatively testing proximity chats, virtual environments and video communication platforms.
Rehabilitation & Assistive technology
We are developing rehabilitation paradigms using XR to make physical therapy and occupational therapy more fun and engaging, and to enable the clinical staff better control and tracking of the rehabilitation processa
Medical training with simulations
We are developing novel tools and paradigms for medical training by augmenting scenarios and tools with XR
