Dr. Alen Hajnal
Professor
Bio
Dr. Hajnal's research focuses on perception and action, affordances, time series analysis of perceptual, motor and physiological processes. Recent empirical work includes the use of virtual reality technology and motion capture systems. Dr. Hajnal regularly publishes in and conducts ad hoc peer review for the Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, Attention, Perception, and Psychophysics, Ecological Psychology, Experimental Brain Research, and others.
