IHMC researchers are working on natural language computer interfaces and digital companions for conversational understanding, with the aim of developing computerized assistants that accommodate a range of abilities, desires, and needs of users through adaptable natural language processing.  Managing a variety of both spoken and written natural language phenomena and adaptation to conversational conventions are central foci of research led by James Allen, Bonnie Dorr, and the late Yorick Wilks, and a team of internationally recognized scientists: Archna Bhatia, Adam Dalton, Greg Dubbin, Lucian Galescu, Kristy...

Humans operating in high consequence environments require peak performance. Warfighters also operate in environments where extreme heat, cold, depth and altitude negatively impact physical, psychological, cognitive, and team performance. Keys to success include an effective stress response as well as quick and effective decision making in the face of extreme environmental conditions. IHMC Research Scientists...

Humans operating in high consequence environments require peak performance. Warfighters also operate in environments where extreme heat, cold, depth and altitude negatively impact physical, psychological, cognitive, and team performance. Keys to success include an effective stress response as well as quick and effective decision making in the face of extreme environmental conditions. IHMC Research Scientists are developing and validating human-centered technologies that measure stress and mitigate extremes that negatively impact individual and team performance and resilience. With combined expertise in undersea, altitude, aviation, space, cognitive, and elite physical performance, our researchers are able to provide...

A human-centered approach to visualization amplifies and extends human perceptual, cognitive, and performance capabilities, casting information into a form that exploits the unique properties of our perceptual system’s information processing capabilities. New visual displays being developed by IHMC researchers Larry Bunch, Tom Eskridge, Jeff Bradshaw, David Still, Matt Johnson, and...

A human-centered approach to visualization amplifies and extends human perceptual, cognitive, and performance capabilities, casting information into a form that exploits the unique properties of our perceptual system’s information processing capabilities. New visual displays being developed by IHMC researchers Larry Bunch, Tom Eskridge, Jeff Bradshaw, David Still, Matt Johnson, and Michael Vignati exploit current vision and neuroscience research to reinvent the presentation of information by harnessing the sophisticated processing power of the human visual system. These displays present data in a manner that allows the operator to understand the...
