Including the Scalable Interfaces Project , a collaboration with the IBM Centre for Advanced Studies in Toronto. This research theme attempts to take advantage of what is known about the psychological properties of users, in order better to understand how human-computer interfaces should be designed and implemented. Economic models of interface users .
Psychological models are likely to provide good predictions of the behaviour of novice users.
But expert users are likely to be more fully informed about the potential of an interface, and to have mastered skills that are suitably complementary to the affordances of the interface. Thus, treating them as optimizers seems to be a better model. Among other things this allows us to take advantage of the extensive range of results that exist in economics to describe the optimizing and game theoretic behaviour of optimizing agents. Pattern formation in the primate visual cortex . Some aspects of neural connectivity in the human brain are determined genetically and develop independently of environmental influence.
