Dr. Behrang Keshavarz is an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Psychology at Toronto Metropolitan University and a Senior Scientist at the KITE Research Institute, University Health Network (UHN). He leads the Neurorehabilitation and Neuroscience Team at KITE-UHN, focusing on human perception and performance in virtual environments. Dr. Keshavarz holds a PhD from Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (2012) and joined TMU in 2016 after a postdoctoral fellowship at KITE-UHN. His research explores human factors in virtual reality (VR), emphasizing three core areas: (1) enhancing self-motion perception (vection) and presence in VR, (2) mitigating motion sickness, and (3) applying VR to driving simulation and rehabilitation. KITE-UHN’s Challenging Environment and Assessment Laboratories (CEAL) provide advanced VR systems for his applied research, which bridges cognitive neuroscience with real-world health and safety applications. Dr. Keshavarz’s work integrates psychophysiological methods, machine learning, and behavioral studies to understand VR-induced phenomena. His contributions address translational challenges in VR technology, including optimizing user experience and minimizing adverse effects. Recent projects focus on age-related perceptual changes and developing predictive models for motion sickness susceptibility.

Dr. Josh Arnold is a Lecturer in Medical Education at Norwich Medical School, University of East Anglia. His academic roles include leading physiology themes in undergraduate medical education (MB BS program) and delivering seminars, lectures, and online workshops. PhD in Physiology (Mechanisms of thermoregulation in hypoxic-cold environments) Arnold’s research focuses on human thermoregulation under complex stressors like hypoxia and cold exposure. He investigates how non-thermal factors (e.g., oxygen availability ) interact with autonomic responses to maintain thermal homeostasis, with recent work examining nitrate supplementation and shivering suppression . His publications span Environmental Physiology , Cardiovascular Regulation , and Stressor Interactions . His 15 most recent articles reveal a consistent focus on hypoxia-cold synergy , nitrate’s physiological effects , thermal stressor validation , and human performance under extreme conditions . Key collaborators include researchers from the UK, Japan, and the Netherlands. Arnold actively supervises student research projects and accepts PhD students in Integrative Human Physiology . He contributes to Metabolic Health initiatives at UEA.
