Cognitive and Motor Performance Lab (CaMP)
Dr. Heather Neyedli, Assistant Professor, Kinesiology
The aim of the lab is to understand and improve聽human performance.聽The b is located in the Dalplex at 新加坡六合彩开奖直播. A general description of our research interests are below.
The Influence of Cognition聽on Movement Planning:
Research in this area looks at how attention, decision making and memory can influence and be influenced by our actions. This research uses statistical decision making theory to explore how聽people can select and plan actions that achieve their goal while avoiding negative outcomes. Another line of research examines how our movement trajectories can be influenced by where our attention is directed.
Neurofeedback:
Neurofeedback involves measuring a person鈥檚 brain activity and presenting it back to them. We can then ask the person to change their brain activity. The hope is that this technique can be used to improve performance in healthy individuals or have a therapeutic benefits for patients.
Cognition and Performance in Applied聽Environments:
A soldier in a battlefield must聽make a rapid decision on whether to engage a target. A driver needs to be alert and quickly react to avoid an accident. This line of research takes a systems level approach to explore how people interact with technology and their environment.
