Human perception and behaviour for human-machine interfaces

Supervisor: Dr Ildar Farkhatdinov

You will explore various aspects of human behaviour, neuromuscular control and perception (touch, vision, motion) to develop better human-machine and human-computer interfaces, including haptic interfaces, virtual reality and robotics.

This is a multi-disciplinary research topic including experimental psychology, human-computer interaction and ergonomics. The application areas may include virtual reality, computer gaming, telerobotics, assistive technologies.

The specific topic and application can be identified based on your research interests. The desirable skills include computer programming, data and control systems analysis.
