DESCRIPTION:Computers are increasingly woven into the fabric of our everyda
 y lives\, but we rarely stop to rethink our relationship with them. They a
 re in front of our faces when we eat\, telling us where to go when we driv
 e\, and the messenger through which we express our relationships. Consider
 ed together\, we can't ignore that these interactions (no matter how small
 ) have a direct impact on our quality of life. \n\nIn this talk\, I'll sha
 re the goals of my field - Human-Computer Interaction - and reflect on how
  we might redefine our relationship with technology. Through my work on br
 ain-computer interfaces\, I'll consider what it might mean for technology 
 to be personally attentive and responsive to us. Through my research in in
 formation visualization\, I'll explore the role computers might play in em
 powering people to engage with the complex world around them. My hope is t
 hat someday\, technology will better support human flourishing at a deeply
  personal level. \n\nEvan Peck is an Assistant Professor of Computer Scien
 ce at Bucknell University - a liberal arts university in Lewisburg\, PA. H
 is research explores technological designs that empower everyday people to
  understand the world around them\, and has been featured by the BBC\, New
  Scientist\, and Discovery News. In 2014\, Evan received his Ph.D. under D
 r. Robert Jacob in the Human-Computer Interaction Lab at Tufts University\
 , during which he also spent time as a research intern in Adobe's Creative
  Technologies Lab. His research career began with an REU in 2007 at Hope C
 ollege. Website
