Associate Professor G. Christopoulos (PhD, Cambridge; PostDoc: BCM, VT) has extensive research experience in examining neurobehavioral accounts of human cognition and decision making. He is co-director of the Culture Science Innovations, member of the Advisory Council of the Academy of Neuroscience For Architecture (ANFA) and a collaborator of the University of Pennsylvania Center for Neuroaesthetics.

In my lab (Lab webpage: https://deonlabblog.com/) we use advanced neurobehavioral methods to examine the following questions:
- Methods to record and evaluate human psychocognitive status (especially fatigue) using wearable
- Human learning and decision making (risk and trust), with a focus on cognitive flexibility and computerised training of working adults
- Environmental (Urban) Neuroscience: we focus on the effect of indoor and outdoor spaces and their architectural characteristics on human performance, health and happiness.
A recent grant examines the effect of soundscaping and sounds on human cognition - Beauty and aesthetics: deeper beliefs about beauty and how they affect consumption of cosmetics how culture and cultural symbols (statues, images, buildings) affect emotions as well aesthetic and other judgments; - Methods: besides traditional methods, we are interested in Virtual Reality and Wearables and how they can be used to assess human behaviorBesides pure academic research, we also collaborate with industry (such as cosmetics companies) to understand how consumers choose and use cosmetics and other products, using implicit and explicit methods.

My research aims to uncover, explain, predict and improve human decision making in dynamic and complex environments. 1- A central topic is on neurobehavioral and social aspects of individual learning and computerised cognitive training. 2 - Recently, we are also interested in understanding the relationship between human behaviour and the built environment especially in Mega-Cities. A current focus is on the effects of sound and soundscaping on human cognition. Methodologically we employ the two research traditions of decision theory and cognitive neuroscience. These include behavioural methods derived from psychology; computational methods stemming from game theory, learning theory and microeconomics; and biological measurements such as human neuroimaging using functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) and eye-tracking.
