Sonification Lab
PI: Dr. Bruce Walker
The Georgia Tech Sonification Lab is an interdisciplinary research group based in the School of Psychology and the School of Interactive Computing at Georgia Tech. Under the direction of Prof. Bruce Walker, the Sonification Lab focuses on the development and evaluation of auditory and multimodal interfaces, and the cognitive, psychophysical and practical aspects of auditory displays, paying particular attention to sonification. Special consideration is paid to Human Factors in the display of information in “complex task environments,” such as the human-computer interfaces in cockpits, nuclear powerplants, in-vehicle infotainment displays, and in the space program.
Foundation Lab
PI: Dr. Chris Wiese
The Foundation Lab is located on Georgia Tech’s campus in the middle of downtown Atlanta. Housed within historic the John Saylor (J.S.) Coon Building, The Foundation Lab consists of a multi-media rich research space – with several independent/interconnected lab “pods” that can share both audio and visual information with each other. These pods are equipped with Virtual Reality headsets and software that allow us to simulate future work conditions. These facilitates are perfect for conducting experimental studies on team dynamics as well as multiple simultaneous studies on individual health and well-being. Further, the Foundation Lab uses high-fidelity driving simulators to study cognitive and psychological phenomenon that occurs while navigating.
Hybrid Intelligence Lab
PI: Dr. Mengyao Li
In HI lab, our mission is to better integrate human and machine intelligence to achieve better outcomes than either alone. Specifically, we model, predict, and shape human-AI communication, social cooperation, and long-term coevolution in both social and safety-critical environments.
