Research profile

Zakaria Djebbara, a tenure-tracked assistant professor at Aalborg University, explores how the design of physical spaces impacts human cognitive processes. His research focuses on two interconnected areas: first, how the features and potential interactions within built environments guide human attention, and second, how the visual patterns and rhythms people experience while moving through spaces might influence cognitive functions like attention and working memory. Specifically, he examines how the structural elements of environments might create neural synchronization patterns that affect how we perceive and process information. His main methods involve combining Virtual Reality with mobile EEG and tracking the body.
