معرفی
Rui Ni is an Associate Professor in the Human Factors Psychology Program within the Fairmount College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. They specialize in visual perception, cognitive psychology, and human factors, with a focus on aging populations and driving safety. Their research explores perceptual learning, attention, and the neural mechanisms underlying cognitive decline.
Education includes a B.S. from Beijing Normal University (1996) and a Ph.D. from the Chinese Academy of Sciences (2001). Their lab, the Visual Perception and Cognition Lab, investigates topics such as depth perception, hazard detection in driving environments, and the effects of lifestyle interventions on aging cognition.
Key research trends include studies on divided attention’s impact on visual tasks, neuroplasticity in older adults, and the design of safer driving environments. Their work bridges cognitive science, human factors, and clinical applications in gerontology. No scientific awards are explicitly listed, but their contributions to aging and visual perception research are notable.
Advising and grants information is not provided in available texts, but their lab’s focus suggests involvement in interdisciplinary collaborations. The Visual Perception and Cognition Lab actively explores applications of perceptual learning and cognitive assessment tools in real-world scenarios.
