Neuroergonomics can be defined as the study of brain and behaviour at work. It combines two disciplines - neuroscience, the study of brain function, and human factors, the study of how to match technology with the capabilities and limitations of people so they can work effectively and safely. The goal of merging these two fields is to use the ...
Of the myriad tasks that the brain has to perform, perhaps none is as crucial as the performance of attention. A central thesis of this book on the cognitive neuroscience of attention is that attention is not a single entity, but a finite set of brain processes that interact mutually and with other brain processes in the performance of perceptual, ...
With contributions from experimental cognitive psychology, neuroscience, developmental psychology, medical science and linguistics, this volume demonstrates the diversity of approaches to human cognition in research conducted in the East and West. A panoramic overview of recent studies of cognition is provided, with a range of fundamental issues ...
Automation in air traffic control may increase efficiency, but it also raises questions about adequate human control over automated systems. Following on the panel's first volume on air traffic control automation, "Flight to the Future" (NRC, 1997), this book focuses on the interaction of pilots and air traffic controllers, with a growing network ...
There is perhaps no facet of modern society where the influence of computer automation has not been felt. Flight management systems for pilots, diagnostic and surgical aids for physicians, navigational displays for drivers, and decision-aiding systems for air-traffic controllers, represent only a few of the numerous domains in which powerful new ...
