David Peebles' research focuses on the application of cognitive science principles to address health-related challenges, particularly in the areas of autism detection and surgical training. He has investigated the efficacy of machine learning models for identifying autism spectrum disorder, employing methods such as rule induction and logistic regression analysis in his classification models. His work also explores early autism screening through comprehensive reviews of existing literature.
Beyond autism research, Peebles has examined the impact of immersive virtual reality (VR) technologies in medical education. He has contributed to studies evaluating VR as a training tool for surgical procedures, including orthognathic surgery, and has reviewed its effectiveness in surgical training contexts. His research also extends to the use of mobile applications for medical screening, specifically focusing on dementia detection through systematic reviews and the development of new mapping models.
