Bio

Relying on her multidisciplinary background, Dr. Ziat's approach to science is holistic; her goal is to understand better perception and human interaction with the natural and artificial environment. For the last eighteen years, she has been studying haptic perception by combining engineering, cognitive psychology, human-computer interaction (HCI), and neuroscience to understand all aspects of human touch. From the moment fingers contact a surface to the time information reaches the brain, her research focuses on making sense of sensations that lead to a stable perception of the world. Dr. Ziat holds an Electronic Engineering degree and a Master's and Ph.D. in Cognitive Science.
