Biography
Samy Rima, senior researcher in Cognitive and Behavioral Neuroscience at the Schmid Research Group, focuses on neurophysiological mechanisms related to visual motion perception and oculomotor behavior. His research contributes to early diagnosis of reading disorders and understanding complex systems operation, such as in aviation and driving. Samy is developing a multimodal AI-AR system to evaluate cognitive states using behavioral and neurophysiological data, and environmental context. This system aims to assist decision-making, enhancing safety, well-being, and efficiency in human-environment interactions.
