My latest research focuses on applyting collaborative BCIs to visual search. We have proven that by merging EEG signals from several users we can locate and localise targets within streams of images (both temporally and spatially). This topic relates to several different fields, such as neuropsychology, artificial intelligence and signal processing. Research interests: Brain-Computer Interfaces, Collaborative Brain-Computer Interfaces, visual search
