Current Contributions to Scientific Field

Developed a portable brain-monitoring system that provides students with real-time visualization of their attentional states during learning activities, enabling self-awareness and self-regulation of cognitive focus. This neurotechnology interface translates complex neural signatures into actionable feedback, resulting in measurable improvements in sustained attention and learning outcomes across diverse educational contexts.
Pioneered a novel neurofeedback approach that translates real-time neural activity into dynamic visual art, enabling individuals with ADHD to enhance sustained attention through engaging visual reinforcement of optimal brain states. This artistic neurofeedback intervention called Brain Painting demonstrated significant improvements in concentration.
