Welcome to the Psychology of Design (PoD) Laboratory at Old Dominion University, directed by Dr. Jeremiah Still. Our research advances Human Factors science by developing computational models of visual priority, pioneering cognition-inspired design in cybersecurity, and evaluating human performance in simulated contexts (e.g., cyber hygiene, phishing).

Computational Salience & Attentional Priority (AP) Models
Combining bottom-up computational salience with top-down learned spatial conventions to improve overt attention predictions across platforms.
Attentional Guidance in Complex Scenes
Evaluating how stimulus salience operates in high-density, complex displays ranging from e-commerce to drone footage.
