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).
