Sensory Neuroscience Laboratory
The Sensory Neuroscience Laboratory undertakes research into sensory-related aspects of physiological performance. The group is interested in developing novel methods of monitoring physiological changes that occur during real tasks. Currently the laboratory has a strong emphasis on visual measurements, including: eye movements, 2D/3D vision, flicker fusion, visual fields, visual attention and their application to complex environments.
We have a mixture of basic and applied research, with some projects supported by industry. We can also collaborate with researchers from different areas of the university to augment the project scope when this will benefit the outcome.
Projects include:
- Visual systems including: flicker fusion (CFFF), EOG, perimetry and applications to monitoring
- Characteristics of eye movements during various visual tasks
- 2D, 3D vision and pre-driver education
- Relationships between eye movements and human performance
- Heart rate variability during complex tasks
- Control of robots with physiological signals
Affiliates
The Sensory Neuroscience Laboratory collaborates with local and overseas organisations including:
