Ben Volmer

Ben Volmer is a Lecturer in the UniSA STEM unit at the University of South Australia. His research focuses on the intersection of augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and neuroscience, particularly examining how these technologies affect cognitive processes and human performance. He investigates EEG responses to incongruent sensory information in AR environments, spatial AR predictive cues' impact on mental effort, and VR applications for remapping motor control in prosthetic systems.

Key research areas include:

• EEG-based analysis of cognitive load in AR/VR contexts
• Optimizing AR interfaces for procedural task guidance
• Neural adaptation in extended reality environments

His recent work explores:

• Real-time neural decoding of incongruent stimuli (2024)
• Effects of predictive cues on sleep-deprived users (2022)
• Third-arm remapping in VR (2019)

Ben has conducted studies on:

• Storyline visualization for wargame analysis (2024)
• Multi-level AR precues for workspace navigation (2023)
