Description:
With contributions from international professionals and researchers, this book is one of the first texts to address the emerging field of Neuroadaptive Systems and presents the state of the art developments in the field. It discusses neuroscience and human factors, as well as brain activity measurement. Topics covered include operator functional state (OFS) and neuroadaptive systems; psychological constructs versus neuronal mechanisms; object recognition versus object-directed grasping; mental fatigue, sleeplessness, and neural mechanisms of control; and attentional network and error related negativity associated with sleep deprivation.
Review Quotes:
"I am deeply convinced that the approach and selection of topics of this book is appropriate for audiences interested in several areas; from psychology and neurophysiology to biocybernetics, because of the range of questions related to the mechanisms of behavior and the possibilities of using this knowledge in cybernetics modeling. ... unique in its integration of cognitive and behavioral psychology with neurology and new biocybernetics perspectives. ..."

--Patrick Rau, Director, Institute of Human Factors and Ergonomics, Department of Industrial Engineering, Tsinghua University, Beijing, China "... a useful review of the emerging area of neuroadaptive systems. It is increasingly clear that theories and empirical findings from neuroscience can inform the development and evaluation of new technologies to support human workers, as evidenced by the growth of the field of neuroergonomics. This volume follows in this trend and shows that systems that provide support to human operators adaptively can be made more effective if they include a neuroscience perspective."
