The AI and HCI Behavioural Lab conducts pioneering research on human interaction with various systems, including intelligent systems and other digital environments. Utilizing advanced neuroscience tools like eye trackers, fMRI, GSR, and VR/AR, the lab investigates physiological and behavioral responses to system use. The goal is to produce empirical results that contribute to state-of-the-art research across multiple fields, offering new insights into human-system interaction.
Location:
The lab is location at the LUT Lahti campus, building M19 (Mukkulankatu 19, 15210 Lahti). The lab has two rooms, one observation room (M19_E214) and one experimental room (M19_E213). Access is restricted to authorized researchers—please inquire for access permissions.
Equipment:
- Varjo XR-4 Series AR and VR headset
- PortaLite MKII portable NIRS for brain & muscle
- more to come soon
The lab is led by Assistant Professor Dominik Siemon and Associate Professor Tuukka Ruotsalo from the Department of Software Engineering. The lab is operated by postdoctoral researcher.
Goals
The lab aims to produce state-of-the-art research on how individuals interact and collaborate with various systems, including intelligent technologies. By employing advanced behavioral tracking and neuroscience tools, the lab generates empirical data that advances the understanding of AI and HCI. Additionally, the lab is integrated into teaching activities, particularly for the Master's program in Digital Systems and Service Development, and serves as a platform for student research, Master’s thesis work, and doctoral studies.
