This book offers a broad perspective on the field of cognitive engineering and neuroergonomics.
It covers emerging practices and future trends towards the harmonious integration of human
operators with computational systems. The book reports on novel theoretical findings on mental
workload and stress activity theory human reliability error and risk and neuroergonomic
measures alike together with a wealth of cutting-edge applications. It describes key advances
in the understanding of cognitive processes including mechanisms of perception memory
reasoning and motor response giving a special emphasis to their role in the interactions
between humans and the other elements of a computer-based system. Based on the AHFE's main
track on Neuroergonomics and Cognitive Engineering held on July 27-31 2016 in Walt Disney
World® Florida USA the book provides readers with a comprehensive view of the current
challenges in cognitive computing and factors influencing human performance.
