Selected Ongoing Projects
1. Neuroadaptive BCI Applications
Transforming brain-computer interfaces (BCI) into powerful tools for enhancing communication and cognition:
- Cognitive Nudging: Helping mitigate confirmation bias and improve decision-making.
- Collaborative Robotics: Seamlessly integrating humans and robots in shared tasks.
- Spatial Learning & Awareness: Empowering users with enhanced navigation and spatial cognition.
These works are supported by multiple internal and external competitive grants.
2. Sensory Augmentation
Revolutionizing mobility for visually impaired individuals by enhancing spatial awareness through sensory augmentation:
- Goal: Enable fluent and independent navigation for blind individuals.
- Funding: Supported by the prestigious NHMRC Ideas Grant.
- Impact: Developing innovative technologies that reshape assistive mobility tools.
3. The UTSxDream Recording (formerly DreamMachine)
Exploring the future of image and dream reconstruction and interpretation using brain signals:
- Objective: Decode and reconstruct dreams from neural activity.
- Methods: Advanced EEG decoding and machine learning to interpret subconscious patterns.
- Applications: Insights into memory consolidation, subconscious processes, and potential therapeutic uses.
