About

Boris M. Velichkovsky is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of cognitive science, neuroinformatics, and human-robot interaction. His work focuses on developing intelligent, user-centered robotic systems that leverage neurobiological and gaze-based interfaces to assist individuals with disabilities. Velichkovsky’s major contributions include designing a multifunctional wheelchair control system that integrates neurobiological interfaces, addressing the critical "Midas touch" problem in gaze control through a novel communicative approach, and exploring how social gaze behaviors in companion robots can evoke perceptions of consciousness in humans. His most cited paper (17 citations) details the architecture of a robotic wheelchair for disabled users, while his research on gaze-and-brain-controlled interfaces has advanced human-computer and human-robot interaction. Velichkovsky has also contributed to the neurocognitive study of creative problem-solving and personal meaning, linking brain information processing to personality. His work on prerational intelligence from a psychological perspective further underscores his interdisciplinary impact. With publications spanning from 2000 to 2021, Velichkovsky’s research continues to shape the fields of assistive robotics, cognitive neuroscience, and artificial intelligence, offering practical solutions for inclusive technology.
