The BIKE Lab is directed by Dr. Mary Still. We conduct Human Factors research and are housed in the Psychology Department at Old Dominion University. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Research in the lab examines how human behavior, particularly interactions with technology, is influenced by knowledge and external cues. There is a particular focus on the way knowledge, experience, and cues can guide behavior even when the individual is not aware of it. Currently, there are three distinct research lines in the lab: one that examines vulnerable road user safety, one that examines factors that promote intuitive interactions, and one that examines how performance is impacted by cognitive workload.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Despite health and environmental benefits of cycling, safety concerns keep many off the road. Our research examines topics including: how knowledge and cues inform road sharing behavior, perceived hazards, and navigation and route memory <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
