This week we hosted Prof. Jacek Gwizdka from The University of Texas at Austin, USA, where he directs the Information eXperience Lab (IX Lab).
Prof. Gwizdka is one of the pioneers of Neuro-Information Science. He studies human-information interaction and retrieval and applies cognitive psychology and neuro-physiological methods to understand information search and improve search experience.
He gave an interesting seminar talk titled “Neuro-physiological evidence as a basis for understanding human-information interaction”. He gave an overview of several projects he worked on which demonstrate the use of eye-tracking and EEG for inferring information relevance.
We had very productive meetings! We hope to materialize our research ideas in a future academic paper(s).
