Kairi studies human information processing, including information input, attention and memory, and its relationships to different states humans may have (like emotions or fatigue). She also studies time perception, and mental health in variable conditions ranging from stress to high temperature. She works on relationships between environmental factors and mental health and she is also interested in reseach ethics. She has (co)supervised 7 doctoral dissertations and more than 30 master theses. ETIS / GoogleScholar

Nele’s research involves different cognitive processes: attention (including pre-attentional processing), memory, perception, speech processing. She wrote her doctoral thesis on automatic processes in visual perception, but also does research in the field of auditory perception and speech processing. ETIS / GoogleScholar

Liina’s doctoral research focuses on the bioelectrical correlates of emotion perception and expression and the comparison of emotional expression between human assessment and machine learning solutions. Important problems in the field include the psychological validity of databases used for machine learning, the transferability of posed emotional expression into real life, the presence of mixed emotion and the relation to one’s own perceived emotional experience. The research is carried out in collaboration with the Intelligent Computer Vision Research Laboratory (iCV) of the University of Tartu, led by Professor Gholamreza Anbarjafari. ETIS
