معرفی
Dr. Maryam Alimardani is an Associate Professor at the Faculty of Science, Computer Science department, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, and a member of the Network Institute. Her research focuses on neurotechnology applications in human-computer interaction, including brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), virtual reality (VR), and robotics. She explores topics such as neurofeedback training for ADHD, workload prediction in flight simulations, and the psychological impact of human-agent interactions. Her work bridges cognitive neuroscience, robotics, and educational technology, with a particular emphasis on improving mental health interventions and learning outcomes through technology.
Research interests include EEG analysis for cognitive state monitoring, gamification strategies in BCI training, and the uncanny valley effect in human-robot collaboration. She has contributed to studies on social robotics for stress management, virtual agent design, and the neurophysiological basis of trust in AI systems.
Her recent publications address VR flight simulation neural patterns, the role of gender in motor imagery BCIs, and the ethical implications of passive vs. active BCIs. Collaborations span aviation neurophysiology, consumer neuroscience for sustainability, and pediatric language learning through robots.
Alimardani teaches Human-Computer Interaction courses and leads projects on adaptive learning systems. Her work emphasizes translational research, applying neuroscientific insights to real-world applications in education, healthcare, and human-technology collaboration.
