Research interests
Synopsis: Dr. Heather Neyedli is the PI of the Cognitive and Motor Performance Lab. Her work in human-technology interaction centers on improving how people interact with AI, automated systems and other technology with of focus on the use of technology in military and sport settings. She also has a research stream that focuses on how humans make decisions, plan actions. This includes understanding how humans process information, adapt their movements, and respond to feedback when interacting with their environment. Outside of the lab environment she applies her expertise in motor learning as the head coach of the Dalhousie Women’s Rugby Team.
