This book discusses the emerging field of industrial neuroscience and reports on the authors¿
cutting-edge findings in the evaluation of mental states including mental workload cognitive
control and training of personnel involved either in the piloting of aircraft and helicopters
or in managing air traffic. It encompasses neuroimaging and cognitive psychology techniques and
shows how they have been successfully applied in the evaluation of human performance and
human-machine interactions and to guarantee a proper level of safety in such operational
contexts. With an introduction to the most relevant concepts of neuroscience
neurophysiological techniques simulators and case studies in aviation environments it is a
must-have for both students and scientists in the field of aeronautic and biomedical
engineering as well as for various professionals in the aviation world. This is the first book
to intensively apply neurosciences to the evaluation of human factors and mental states in
aviation.
