Projects

Superhuman interaction in virtual reality

Research exploring the depth of sensory illusions elicited by virtual reality, and the potential of VR to enable beyond-real interactions with the human body.

• Reaching further in VR: A comparative study with a novel velocity-based technique

  Jan 2025 Researcher Developer Data analyst Meta Quest 2 R Unity VR

  Introduction of novel out-of-reach interaction techniques in VR based on velocity-to-velocity mapping between users' physical and virtual hand movements, and a comparison of two position-based techniques (Go-Go, HOMER) and two velocity-based techniques (Hand Gliding, Laser Gliding).

• Enhancing localization performance with extended funneling vibrotactile feedback

  Dec 2023 Developer Co-designer Eye-tracking Meta Quest Pro Unity VR

  Evaluation of an extended funneling technique for audio-vibrotactile localization of object-object contacts in VR.

• Study of full-body virtual embodiment using noninvasive brain stimulation and imaging

  Feb 2021 Researcher Developer Data analyst EEG HTC Vive Unity tDCS VR

  Combined brain stimulation, EEG, and questionnaire study on the sense of embodiment (ownership and agency) toward a full-body virtual avatar.

• Examining and enhancing the illusory touch perception in virtual reality using non-invasive brain stimulation

  May 2019 Researcher Developer Data analyst EEG Oculus Rift Unity tDCS VR

  Research on eliciting illusory touch during virtual object manipulation with bare tracked hands, and its enhancement through brain stimulation.

Virtual reality for meditation facilitation

Studies exploring how virtual reality can facilitate neuroplastic changes associated with meditation.

• Facilitating non-dual awareness through virtual reality out-of-body experiences

  Jan 2025 Researcher Developer Data analyst EEG Meta Quest 3 R Unity VR

  A proof-of-concept VR environment using out-of-body experience manipulation techniques to facilitate the perception through the lens of non-dual awareness.

• Increasing meditation efficiency with VR

  May 2024 Concept lead

  Theoretical paper proposing virtual reality techniques for boosting the brain's predictive processing system changes linked with meditation.

Brain-computer interaction with VR avatars

Studies and tools (VR environments, EEG processing pipelines) supporting motor imagery brain-computer interface training using a first-person avatar in VR. These works aim to induce a sense of embodiment (the illusion of body ownership transfer) in VR, based on agentic user actions performed through mental imagery of hand movements.

• Virtual reality embodiment in motor imagery brain–computer interface training

  Oct 2022 Researcher Data analyst EEG R VR

  Exploration of the relationship between motor imagery BCI performance and virtual reality embodiment across two BCI training VR scenarios.

• BCIManager: A library for development of brain-computer interfacing applications in Unity

  Aug 2021 Developer Unity OpenViBE

  Library bridging OpenViBE (software for BCIs) and Unity (game engine) for brain-computer interaction and EEG recording.

• Progressive training for motor imagery brain-computer interfaces using gamification and virtual reality embodiment

  Sep 2019 Researcher Data analyst Co-developer EEG ML Oculus Rift Unity VR

  Development of a gamified, progressive training protocol for motor imagery BCIs, using real-time first-person avatar feedback in VR to support body ownership transfer.

• Embodied VR environment facilitates motor imagery brain–computer interface training

  Jun 2018 Researcher Data analyst Co-developer EEGLAB ML OpenViBE Oculus Rift Unity VR

  Design and evaluation of a motor imagery BCI training VR environment based on real-time synchrony between users' mental commands and avatar motor actions.
