AboutAbout the lab
Capturing human behavior with information technology to support health and learning.
The Cong Lab uses human-computer interaction and artificial intelligence methods to study how to capture human behavior from data.
It analyzes health-related data, aiming to lead to health support tailored to each individual.
Information technology that supports learning is also a research subject, including building learning environments with the metaverse and VR.
Its goal is to improve well-being, that is, to help people live better lives.
