The HCVB Lab covers the broad areas of visual behavior, autonomous driving, healthcare, performance prediction, situation awareness, cognitive and mathematical modeling. Visual behaviors have been found to reflect human cognitive states such as cognitive workload, attention, and SA. We apply vision research in various fields such as smart manufacturing, healthcare, STEM education, autonomous driving, and human-robot interaction.
