Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) with complex, dynamic financial systems

The typical workplace of a financial trader consists of a multi-screen setup with dynamic streams of real-time information. This critical decision environment places strong demands on visual attention, information filtering, reasoning, and decision-making under time pressure. Financial traders often focus on the information that appears relevant to them based on their previous experience and/or their market expectations while also ignoring other available pieces of information. This can lead to false assumptions and biases at the individual and market levels of analysis. This project aims to address these cognitive biases in a quantifiable way.
