Advances in Neuroergonomics and Cognitive Engineering

The book "Advances in Neuroergonomics and Cognitive Engineering" provides a comprehensive insight into the fields of cognitive engineering and neuroergonomics. It addresses emerging practices and future trends aimed at achieving a harmonious integration of human operators and computer systems. The authors present novel theoretical insights on topics such as mental workload, stress, activity theory, human reliability, as well as error and risk management. Additionally, neuroergonomic measurements and a variety of innovative applications are introduced. A particular focus is placed on advancements in understanding cognitive processes, including perception, memory, reasoning, and motor responses, and their significance for interactions between humans and computer-based systems. Based on the AHFE 2018 Conference on Neuroergonomics and Cognitive Engineering, the book offers a comprehensive overview of the current challenges in the field of cognitive computing and the factors that influence human performance.
