Spatial Cognition Lab

The Spatial Cognition Lab researches how people and animals understand and navigate their environments. It explores how we perceive space, remember locations, and use this information to move and interact effectively. The lab combines psychology, neuroscience, and technology to study behaviors like wayfinding, spatial memory, and environmental learning. Insights from this research help improve designs for navigation aids, assist in understanding spatial difficulties in certain disorders, and contribute to fields like robotics and virtual reality, ultimately enhancing our understanding of the cognitive processes involved in navigating the world around us.
