Philadelphia, PA — June 20, 2025 — The lab celebrates master’s student Callan Powell who has successfully defended her MS thesis, “The NEVRland Platform: An Immersive Virtual-Reality Experimentation Platform for Research in Neuroergonomics.”
Callan’s work introduced NEVRland, a flexible VR framework that lets researchers create ecologically valid cognitive tasks while maintaining the strict timing control required for neurophysiological studies. Her defense impressed the committee with rigorous validation data, demonstrations of real-world applications, and a roadmap for future extensions to training, rehabilitation, and human–machine interaction.
Please join us in congratulating Callan on this outstanding achievement and wishing her continued success as she advances in the field of neuroergonomics!
