This work has focused on human-technology, human-information, and (most recently) human-human interactions. We see the human-human interactions as part of Cognitive Social Science; namely, an approach to traditional social psychology type questions that is rooted in cognitive science theory, modeling approaches, and methodologies. Recent work in human-technology interaction includes the study of fast-paced action games. In our premier gaming project we have collected EEG, eye data, and behavioral data<span class="Apple-style-span" style="text-decoration: line-through;">,</span> and are building computational cognitive models of expert game play as a means to understanding the control problems in real-time interactive behavior. We are also building models of airline pilots who get lost or confused while taxingly on the ground from the runway to the gate. Our work on human-information interaction has focused on the cognitive control of multitasking, interruptions, errors, and other common human behaviors which turn out to be incredibly hard to understand. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica; ">We are looking for people with good computer science and mathematics skills and an intense interest in cognitive science!</span></p><div>To apply contact: <a href="http://www.rpi.edu/dept/admissions/graduate/index.html">http://www.rpi.edu/dept/admissions/graduate/index.html</a></div><div><br></div><div>For more information contact:</div></div><br><div apple-content-edited="true"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Gill Sans'; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><div style="font-size: 12px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px; ">**Rensselaer**Rensselaer**Rensselaer**Rensselaer**Rensselaer**</span></div><div style="font-size: 12px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px; ">Wayne D.
