Lab’s VR & Working Memory Research Featured In UC Davis News Release

The lab, in conjunction with the Human Development and Media Lab is running a study at the SMUD Museum of Science and Curiosity that investigates how children learn in virtual reality. The project resulted in a news release from The Student Researcher. The release heavily features lab members Allyson Snyder (project lead) and Valerie Klein (researcher).

VALERIE KLEIN TO PRESENT AT ASPIRE SYMPOSIUM

Valerie Klein will present research investigating inter-brain synchrony and its relationship with collaborative task performance at this year’s ASPIRE Symposium! In this study, novel participant pairs complete a naturalistic Augmented Reality Tangram task while wearing EEG headsets. Results show that increased pairwise inter-brain synchrony is associated with increased task performance.

The symposium (open to the public) begins at 5:30pm at the Center for Mind and Brain (267 Cousteau Pl, Davis, CA 95618). The full program includes a keynote by Dr. Seth Frey, student lectures, and poster presentations.
