My mission statement is to develop evidence-based, adaptive immersive contexts that enrich learning experiences, accounting for individual differences in attention. I investigate how emerging digital technologies shape cognitive, brain, and physical health from early childhood through adulthood, and how we can promote accessibility to underresourced communities.
Key Research Questions
How can we leverage advances in noninvasive portable sensor systems such as mobile functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) and eye-tracking to uncover the neurophysiological processes underlying behavior?
!real human brain!
How can we apply foundational learning science theories in neuroscience and psychology to enrich cognitive development with technology?
As the use of digital games and extended realities vastly increases, research on the best practices is needed.
