Introduction
We conduct interdisciplinary research aimed at understanding and supporting human cognitive interaction, with a particular focus on individuals with autism spectrum disorder. Our work integrates multimodal data, including EEG signals and speech, to analyze cognitive and communicative processes. In parallel, we develop and evaluate assistive technologies designed to enhance communication and social interaction.
We prioritize publishing papers in international academic journals.
