👉 Word of the month: NEUROERGONOMICS 🧠
▪️ Ergonomics studies how people interact with their working environment, tools and systems under everyday operating conditions. In this field, we often think of efficiency and measures to maximize human performance, safety and well-being.
🧠Neuroergonomics takes this a step further and is formally defined as the study of the human brain concerning performance at work and in everyday settings (Parasuraman R., 2003).
▪️ Falling in the intersection between ergonomics, neuroscience and human factors, neuroergonomics specialializes in the neural mechanisms underlying human performance and the different ways in which the relevant cognitive and neurobiological processes can inform operational optimizations like dynamic task allocation and design optimizations of tools, systems and workspaces.
👉For example, passiveBCI technology has the ability to evaluate in real-time the cognitive capabilities of a trainee/student/employee, e.g., by measuring mental workload, and dynamically allocating training material or tasks, reducing operator fatigue and enhancing productivity and working conditions.
