Page Category: Neuro-Information Search

Motivation and Background: Currently, cognitive processes that guide information retrieval and understanding are not well understood. The NeuroInformation Search project is motivated by the need to bridge this gap by exploring how the brain’s neurological setup influences information seeking behavior. This exploration is crucial for designing the next generation of information systems that are truly…

This research project delves into the NeuroIS field, exploring the neurological underpinnings of information seeking and search processes. Our inquiry is focused on understanding how neurological dynamics, particularly neuron interactions and brain region activations, are influenced during various types of information searches. We are interested in categorizing searches based on their complexity—ranging from simple, factual…
