Maryam Alimardani

Maryam Alimardani is a researcher at Tilburg University's School of Humanities and Digital Sciences, Department of Cognitive Science and AI. She holds a Hospitality Contract position focusing on cutting-edge neurotechnology research. Her work contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals related to innovation and infrastructure.

Research Interests:

• Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI) for human-machine interaction
• Virtual Reality (VR) applications in training and neurocognitive assessment
• EEG-based neural pattern analysis
• Passive BCI systems for workload prediction
• Gender differences in neurophysiological responses

Recent Work Trends: Recent publications (2021-2024) emphasize BCI integration with VR environments, particularly in aviation training contexts. She explores gamification principles for optimizing BCI training protocols and investigates neurophysiological markers like mu rhythm suppression to improve BCI performance.

Grant/Project Leadership: Principal Investigator on the Assessment and Enhancement of Pilot Training in VR using Neuro-cognitive Indicators of Learning project.

Labs/Teams: Collaborates with multidisciplinary teams in aviation human factors and neuroergonomics, contributing to datasets like Psychological and Cognitive Factors in Motor Imagery BCI and Neural responses with EEG to climate change images.
