Lindsay Yazzolino is an audio/tactile design consultant and air travel enthusiast who has worked in diverse fields ranging from brains to trains. Lindsay leverages both her professional background in cognitive neuroscience research and personal experience as a totally blind scientist to collaboratively develop products, such as exhibits and educational materials, which incorporate “hand-catching” tactile design and rich audio. She is enthusiastic about modern technologies, such as 3D printing and interactive touch screens, which are revolutionizing the design of multisensory interfaces. With these tools, Lindsay helps create interactive tangible experiences that are intuitive and fun. She also coordinates research studies of how diverse types of life experience shape brain and cognitive processes. A firm believer that outreach makes for better science, she constantly strives to connect scientists with individuals whose experiences they are interested in studying so that they can mutually benefit from each other's expertise.
