Background

About Anna Madison

I am a research psychologist and inventor with over 15 years of cross-sector experience in academia, industry, and government. My expertise lies in experimental cognitive psychology—focusing on vision, attention, sensation and perception, and human performance—and I excel at translating rigorous research into practical technology solutions for human-AI collaboration and organizational effectiveness. With a proven track record of leading cross-functional teams, I have pioneered innovations recognized by three patents and maintain an active Secret Clearance. My applied research bridges human cognition and intelligent systems, centering on human-AI systems and immersive training products that enhance learning and retention through extended reality (VR/MR). I also advance frameworks and metrics for human-AI teaming, trust calibration, and decision support, enabling organizations to integrate emerging technologies in ways that optimize performance and resilience. I leverage multimodal methods that combine subjective, behavioral and physiological measures to assess human performance, workload, and trust with experience in quantitative and qualitative UX research, eye tracking, EEG, and data science to generate insights that shape the future of human-technology interaction.
