This book sums up key research findings and theoretical and technological advances having a
direct bearing on neuroergonomics. Neuroergonomics is an emerging area whose Neuroergonomics is
an emerging area that is collectively defined as the study of human brain function and
behaviour in relation to behavioural performance in natural environments and everyday settings.
It helps readers to understand neural mechanisms of human cognition in the context of human
interaction with complex systems as well as understanding the change of perception
decision-making and training in humans. The authors give new insights into augmenting human
performance reflecting upon the opportunities provided through neuroergonomics research and
development. Computer systems acting on data from behavioural-output physiological and
neurological sensing technologies are used to determine the user's cognitive state and adapt
the systems to change support and monitor human cognition. Various domains and case studies
delve into the field of neuroergonomics in detail. These include but are not limited to: an
evaluation of technologies in health workplace and education settings to show the different
impacts of neuroergonomics in everyday lives assessment of real-time cognitive measures
dynamic casual interactions between inhibition and updating functions through analysis of
behavioral neurophysiological and effective connectivity metrics and applications in human
performance modelling and assessment of mental workload showing the reader how to train and
improve working memory capacity. Neuroergonomics: Principles and Practice provides academic
practitioners and graduate students with a single go-to handbook that will be of significant
assistance in research associated with human factors and ergonomics human-computer interaction
human-systems engineering and cognitive neuroscience.
