Call & Response: Vedran Dzebic on Design, Creativity & Empathic AI

Presented by the Goethe-Institut Toronto
Part of the CONTACT Photography Festival

Call & Response <> is the Goethe-Institut Toronto's newly framed series of contextualising events and gathering illuminating our core programming questions.

Vedran Dzebic is a cognitive neuroscientist and the Research Director at Entro, an experiential design firm, where he explores how neuroscience and emerging technologies can be used to create more empathic, human-centred environments. His work draws on behavioural science, AI, eye-tracking, and brainwave measurement to understand how people perceive, process, and emotionally respond to the built environment. Vedran has presented and been featured by the American Institute of Architects, the Toronto Society of Architects, the Environmental Design Research Association, Applied Arts magazine, and The Globe and Mail. He holds a PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience from the University of Waterloo.
