Synopsis

Neuroergonomics: The Brain at Work and in Everyday Life details the methodologies that are useful for keeping an ideal human-machine system up-to-date, along with information on how to prevent potential overload and minimize errors. It discusses neural measures and the proper methods and technologies to maximize performance, thus providing a resource for neuroscientists who want to learn more about the technologies and real-time tools that can help them assess cognitive and motivational states of human operators and close the loop for advanced human-machine interaction. With the advent of new and improved tools that allow monitoring of brain activity in the field and better identification of neurophysiological markers that can index impending overload or fatigue, this book is a timely resource on the topic.

Author Bio
Dr. Ayaz is an Associate Research Professor of Biomedical Engineering at Drexel University, Philadelphia, PA with adjunct appointments at the University of Pennsylvania and the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Since 2001, he has worked on the development of continuous wave functional near infrared sensors and developed enabling software for brain monitoring instruments that were licensed by fNIR Devices LLC and distributed globally by Biopac Systems, Inc. As an extension to this, he led the software design and development for a portable-handheld medical device (Infrascanner) that utilizes fNIR to detect hematoma in head trauma patients, which received FDA approval and is currently being distributed in three continents for emergency care and pre-hospitalization screening. Dr. Ayaz's research interests include neuroengineering applications of human computer interaction and Neuroergonomics. His research activities with optical brain imaging focus on human computer interaction, neuroergonomics, and brain computer interface both in the field and in clinical applications. With 90+ publications in international journals and conferences, his research has been funded by federal agencies including the Department of Defence, FAA, and NIH, corporate partners Lockheed Martin Corporation and Intel Corporation, and has managed multi-institutional research and development projects Dr. Dehais is a full professor at the Institut Superieur de l'Aeronautique et de l'Espace (France) and the AXA Chair in Neuroergonomics for Flight Safety, a rare credit attributed to less than thirty researchers in the world. He is leading the Neuroergonomics and Human Factors Department, a team composed of 18 permanent and non-permanent members with an interdisciplinary expertise in Neuroscience, Signal Processing, Computer Science, and Human Factors. His research focuses on understanding the neural correlates of human error in real-life situations and the implementation of BCI and cognitive countermeasures to mitigate human error. His department receives substantial grants and his research has been published in international journals such as Neuroimage, Behavioral Brain Research, IEEE, PLOS ONE, and Human Factors. His innovative work has also led to four international patents that are currently implemented in modern civilian aircrafts.
