Dr. Behrang Keshavarz

Human perception and performance in Virtual Reality
Bio: Dr. Keshavarz is a scientist at The KITE Research Institute at Toronto Rehab–University Health Network and an adjunct professor with the Department of Psychology at the Toronto Metropolitan University. He holds a PhD in cognitive and experimental psychology from the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, Germany. Dr. Keshavarz’s research combines modern Virtual Reality (VR) technologies with traditional behavioural and neuro-cognitive measures toinvestigate human cognition, perception, and performance. His research focuses on (visually induced) motion sickness associated with the use of VR applications. In addition, Dr. Keshavarz uses neuro-cognitive and behavioural measures to explore the sensation of self-motion in VR and is involved in KITE’s driving simulation program. Overall, his research has a strong applied component and provides a balance between theory and application.
