My research interests are primarily shaped by issues surrounding the application of quantitative methods and IT tools in the analysis of socio-economic processes, with particular emphasis on multi-criteria methods, multidimensional data analysis, cognitive neuroscience techniques in the study of social behavior, and consumer preferences modelling in the business decision-making process in management. A key component of my research is the development of tools, techniques, and research methods in the domain of cognitive neuroscience. I carry them out within the framework of the Cognitive Neuroscience Laboratory and the Virtual Reality Laboratory, both of which are housed in the Institute of Management at the University of Szczecin. The research focuses on topics related to decision-making, including neuromarketing, analysis of advertising messages, packaging, and banners, as well as website usability testing and logistics processes. To study social behavior and modeling of consumer preferences in decision-making, the research employs measurement techniques such as neuroimaging of the brain (EEG), psychophysiological measurements (GSR, HR), recording and analysis of location and eye movement data (Eye Tracking), and microexpression measurements ( EMG, Face Reading). Additionally, Prof. Nermend has published more than 130 publications (including many monographs published in SPRINGER and articles in journals from the Philadelphia list), mainly in the area of using quantitative methods and tools to analyze economic problems and decision support.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b6c04d0 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"b6c04d0\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e8c0c9d e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"e8c0c9d\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f4aa6fb e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"f4aa6fb\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1acfe5d elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"1acfe5d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"757\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/conferences.tiu.edu.iq\/icabep\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/update-757x1024.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-5008\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/conferences.tiu.edu.iq\/icabep\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/update-757x1024.jpeg 757w, https:\/\/conferences.tiu.edu.iq\/icabep\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/update-222x300.jpeg 222w, https:\/\/conferences.tiu.edu.iq\/icabep\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/update-768x1039.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/conferences.tiu.edu.iq\/icabep\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/update.jpeg 834w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 757px) 100vw, 757px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-289f2d5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"289f2d5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Abdulrahman Sedeeq<br><br>\nHead of the Environment Board in the Kurdistan Regional Government<\/h5>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-60da0e9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"60da0e9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Mr. Abdulrahman Sedeeq earned his degree in Civil Engineering from the University of Mosul in 1989.
