PEOPLE IN THE CNS LAB
Colleen Chen received her BA from UCSD and MS from SDSU. She is now a graduate student working in the Cognitive NeuroSystems Lab at UCI towards a Ph.D. in psychology with a concentration in cognitive neuroscience. She is interested in multisensory integration and visual motion perception in virtual reality.
Veronica Chu received B.A. degrees in Psychology and Philosophy from the University of Southern California in 2013. She is currently a graduate student working in the Cognitive NeuroSystems Lab at UCI towards a Ph.D. in psychology with a concentration in cognitive neuroscience. Her research primarily revolves around visual attention, and by extension, visual perception. She is interested in studying top-down attention and how it affects visual processing and other perceptual domains through psychophysical methods and EEG. Her long-term goal is to directly apply visual attention findings to improve upon today's expanding technology in virtual and augmented reality.
Jordan Garner received the B.S. degree in psychology from the University of California, Davis in 2014. He is currently a graduate student working in the Cognitive NeuroSystems Lab at UCI towards a Ph.D. in psychology with a concentration in cognitive neuroscience. His research interests include virtual reality, motion sickness, sensory integration, mental imagery, and brain-computer interfaces. Currently, Jordan is researching how manipulations of visual information influence a person’s posture and balance when immersed in a virtual reality environment.
Zosimo Geluz received a B.A. degree in Psychology and B.S degree in Information Technology from California State University, Channel Islands. Currently he is a graduate student working in the Cognitive NeuroSystems Lab at UCI towards a Ph.D. in psychology with a concentration in cognitive neuroscience. Primary research interest include psycho-physiological responses in virtual reality.
Mark Dennison Jr.is a research psychologist with the U.S. Army Research Laboratory's Battlefield Information Processing Branch and an assistant project scientist in the Cognitive NeuroSystems Lab. He received his PhD in psychology from the University of California, Irvine in 2017. His research interests include mixed reality, motion sickness, and multi-modal machine learning.
Michael D'Zmura is a Professor of Cognitive Sciences at the University of California, Irvine, where he directs the Cognitive NeuroSystems Lab. He received his Ph.D. in psychology from the University of Rochester in 1990. His research interests include vision, attention, hearing and speech, BCIs, and virtual reality.
