Background

About Jesse Mark

I am currently studying neuroergonomics, a rapidly growing field about the brain at work in natural environments, as a Post-doc at Drexel University. My research focus is in applying non-invasive, wearable neuroimaging modalities such as fNIRS and EEG to monitor cognitive workload for developing neuroadaptive training methods that can enhance learning in complex tasks such as flying a plane. My interests lie in making use of consumer-grade, widespread neuroimaging in the fields of human interaction and performance to connect artists and audiences during concerts, theater, orchestra, and other live performance, whether in-person or virtually. By bringing out the neural measures of interpersonal synchrony, which increase in response to the strength of understanding and emotional connection, I believe that both subjective enjoyment as well as interpersonal human connection can be enhanced.
