Who We Are
The Spatial and Map Cognition Research Lab.
What We Do
We study map use, navigation, and spatial thinking primarily. We use multiple measurement tools, including traditional laboratory and in-field behavioral methods as well as fMRI and eye-tracking.
Where We Do It
SMCRL is a part of the Department of Geography at the
University of Oregon - Eugene.
Tactile Navigation Symbol Set
As part of a project funded by NSF-HRD-Research in Disabilities Education (grant #0533251), we have created and tested a standardized symbol set for
tactile navigation maps. Please see a description of the project in the Projects - Facults section of this webpage. The symbols set is below.
See the Faculty Projects section for a description of projects.
