Oversized hardcover, [xvi] + 894 pages, NOT ex-library. Weight 1.49kg. A repaired 5cm incision along the upper spine (rear board), with non-sticky glue marks. Interior shows little wear, clean and bright with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, securely bound. Faint handling marks on page edges externally. Issued without a dust jacket. -- This volume forges a critical link between the internal landscape of the human brain and the external demands of the modern world, offering a comprehensive exploration of human capability from two distinct yet complementary perspectives. The first half delves deep into the burgeoning field of neuroergonomics, moving beyond theoretical concepts to showcase the practical application of cutting-edge neuroscience in real-world scenarios. It provides a detailed look at how techniques like optical brain imaging, electrophysiology, fMRI, and near-infrared spectroscopy are used to objectively measure and model cognitive states such as mental workload, attention, and fatigue. Chapters demonstrate how this data can be used to predict operator errors in high-stakes tasks like piloting unmanned aerial vehicles, to develop adaptive automation that responds to a user's mental state in real time, and to assess the effectiveness of novel training platforms like NeuroGaming. The discussion also ventures into the crucial domain of neuroethics, considering the implications of accessing the private brain. The second half of the collection expands this focus outward, applying human factors principles to a uniquely broad range of "special populations". This goes far beyond the conventional scope of disability studies to include trainees, military personnel, and even users in developing nations who may be unfamiliar with certain technologies. This section is a treasure trove of tangible case studies and design solutions, addressing specific challenges such as the ergonomic evaluation of military exoskeletons, the creation of haptic learning systems for the visually impaired, the design of workstations for an aging workforce, and even cross-cultural analyses of everyday activities like laundry and personal hygiene. By uniting the micro-level analysis of neural activity with the macro-level challenges of inclusive and specialized design, this book serves as a foundational toolkit of methods, models, and case studies essential for researchers, engineers, and designers aiming to create systems that are not just functional, but are truly centered on the diverse realities of human performance.…

Combining emerging concepts, theories, and applications of human factors knowledge, this volume focuses on discovery and understanding of human performance issues in complex systems, including recent advances in neural basis of human behavior at work (i.e. neuroergonomics), training, and universal design. The book is organized into ten sections that focus on the following subject matters:
I: Neuroergonomics: Workload Assessment
II: Models and Measurement in Neuroergonomics
III: Neuroergonomics and Human Performance
IV: Neuroergonomics and Training Issues
V: Trainees: Designing for Those in Training
VI: Military Human Factors: Designing for Those in the Armed Forces
VII: New Programs/New Places: Designing for Those Unfamiliar with Human Factors
VIII: Universal Design: Designing to Include Everyone
IX: Designing for People with Disabilities
X: Children and Elderly: Designing for Those of Different Ages
Sections I through IV of this book focus on neuroscience of human performance in complex systems, with emphasis on the assessment and modeling of cognitive workload, fatigue, and training effectiveness. Sections V through X concentrate on applying human factors to special populations, with the caveat that the design information may not generalize to (or be of interest to) other populations. This broadens the conventional definition which limits special populations to those who have limitations in their functional abilities, i.e. those with chronic disabilities due to illness, injury, or aging. Thus, special populations can incorporate certain investigations and designs focused on military, students, or even developing countries and those naïve to the field of human factors, as well as those who are affected by disabilities and aging (both young and old).
Many chapters of this book focus on analysis, design, and evaluation of challenges affecting students, trainees, members of the military, persons with disabilities, and universal design. In general, the chapters are organized to move from a more general, to a more specialized application. For example, the subtopics for those with disabilities include designing websites, workstations, housing, entrepreneur training, communication strategies, products, environments, public transportation systems, and communities.
This book is of special value to a large variety of professionals, researchers and students in the broad field of human performance who are interested in neuroergonomics, training effectiveness, and universal design and operation of products and processes, as well as management of work systems in contemporary society. We hope this book is informative, but even more - that it is thought provoking. We hope it inspires, leading the reader to contemplate other questions, applications, and potential solutions in creating designs that improve function, efficiency, and ease-of-use for all.
