About

Daniel Pimentel is an emerging scholar at the intersection of human-computer interaction, augmented reality (AR), and brain-computer interfaces (BCI). His research explores how immersive technologies can foster collaborative, interdependent experiences, challenging conventional notions of solitary digital engagement. Pimentel’s most cited work, "Mediated Interdependence in Motion: A Co-op Augmented Reality (AR) and Brain–Computer Interface (BCI) Installation" (2019), introduces a pioneering installation that merges AR with BCI to create a cooperative environment where users’ neural and physical movements are synchronized. This contribution demonstrates his ability to design systems that prioritize shared agency and mutual influence, offering a novel framework for studying social dynamics in mixed reality. Though early in his career—with his top paper garnering 3 citations—Pimentel’s work signals a growing interest in embodied, collaborative interfaces. His research holds promise for applications in education, therapy, and team-based problem-solving, where joint attention and neural coupling can enhance outcomes. As a researcher, Pimentel is carving a niche in the future of cooperative AR and BCI, making him a name to watch in the evolving landscape of interactive technology.
