Sam Chin is a graduate student in the Responsive Environments Group at the MIT Media Lab. Her research explores how technology can be used to expand the boundaries of human perception and improve the way we experience the world around us. On one hand, she builds hardware and interfaces for sensory augmentation. On the other, she examines the neuroscience of how we learn and integrate senses. She applies sensory augmentation to different contexts, such as: aviation safety, eeg analysis and age-related hearing loss. Currently, Sam focuses on creating new senses to disambiguate between perceptually ambiguous situations.
