This book offers a broad perspective on the field of cognitive engineering and neuroergonomics
covering emerging practices and future trends toward the harmonious integration of human
operators with computational systems. It 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. Further the book
describes key advances in our understanding of cognitive processes including mechanisms of
perception memory reasoning and motor response with a special emphasis on their role in
interactions between humans and other elements of computer-based systems. Based on the AHFE's
main track on Neuroergonomics and Cognitive Engineering held on July 17-21 2017 in Los
Angeles California USA it provides readers with a comprehensive overview of the current
challenges in cognitive computing and factors influencing human performance.
