Neuroergonomics
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The term Neuroergonomics was first used by Raja Parasuraman for describing the study of brain and behavior at work. This interdisciplinary field is concerned with investigations of the neural bases of human perception, cognition, and performance in relation to systems and technologies in the real world -- for example, in the use of computers and various other machines at home or in the workplace, and in operating vehicles such as aircraft, cars, trains, and ships. Neuroergonomics has two major goals:
- to use existing and emerging knowledge of human performance and brain function to design such systems for safer and more efficient operation
- to advance understanding of human brain function in relation to cognitive processes and performance in real-world tasks
