Paul Matusz

Bio

Dr. Paul Matusz is an Associate Professor at the School of Health Sciences, HES-SO Valais-Wallis (University of Applied Sciences Western Switzerland), where he coordinates the Physiotherapy Lab. He also serves as a Principal Investigator at the Real-World Neuroscience Unit of The Sense Research & Innovation Center in Switzerland. Additionally, Dr. Matusz holds an adjunct professorship at Vanderbilt University in the USA. linkedin.com+3boldscience.org+3hevs.ch+3the-sense.ch+4hevs.ch+4swissnex.org+4swissnex.org+1boldscience.org+1

His research focuses on understanding how adults and children process information in naturalistic, multisensory environments. He employs techniques such as electroencephalography (EEG) and behavioral assessments to study attention, perception, and learning. Dr. Matusz is particularly interested in how these cognitive processes develop and can be harnessed for rehabilitation and educational purposes. the-sense.ch+6boldscience.org+6the-sense.ch+6hevs.ch+1boldscience.org+1

In 2023, he was appointed Editor-in-Chief of Mind, Brain & Education, a leading journal in the field of educational neuroscience. people.hes-so.ch+5swissnex.org+5hevs.ch+5

Meeting for Minds involvement

Dr. Matusz has collaborated with Meeting for Minds through the SYNERGIES program, which emphasizes co-designed research involving individuals with lived experience of mental illness. His work within this initiative focuses on understanding brain responses to auditory stimuli in populations such as individuals with early psychosis and those born preterm. meetingforminds.com

Featured Research & Work

Real-World Neuroscience (GROWN): Dr. Matusz leads the Group for Real-World Neuroscience (GROWN), which investigates cognitive, motor, and sensory functions in naturalistic, multisensory environments. The research aims to develop accurate models of neurocognitive functions and apply this knowledge to improve detection and rehabilitation of disorders, especially in children. hevs.ch+3the-sense.ch+3the-sense.ch+3

  1. AMBER Trial: He spearheaded the AMBER project, a randomized clinical trial exploring home-based training for individuals with amblyopia (lazy eye). The study integrates serious games, virtual reality (VR), EEG brain imaging, and machine learning to assess and enhance visual rehabilitation. people.hes-so.ch+2hevs.ch+2people.hes-so.ch+2

  2. Immersive Prevention Centers for Mental Health (IP4MH): Dr. Matusz is a co-applicant in the IP4MH project, which aims to develop innovative Immersive Prevention Centers using virtual reality (VR) and mixed reality (MR) technologies within the Metaverse to address challenges in mental health care. people.hes-so.ch

  3. VISION Project: He participates in the VISION project, funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation, which utilizes artificial intelligence and mixed reality to improve early detection of autism spectrum disorders. hevs.ch
