We have seen a marked increase in the availability of measurement techniques in assessing various aspects of cognition that are prevalent in aerospace domain.Cognitive learning disability it is inevitable that any discussion on aviation psychology includes such cognitive constructs as attention and cognitive workload as well as their relationship with human performance in safety critical environments.Cognitive learning disability the neuroergonomics approach, introduced by parasuraman (2008) paved the way for widespread use of wearable physiological monitoring sensors and real-time analytic techniques to enable objective assessment of human operators’ neurophysiological state (parasuraman & rizzo, 2008).Cognitive learning disability these sensor technologies are now everywhere, and the means to assess our neurophysiological state is rapidly becoming ubiquitous. Moreover, this trend also provides end-users with an opportunity to now apply such technologies in more contextually real and dynamic environments.Cognitive learning disability hence, this workshop will focus on know-how exchange and discussion on the most common and most frequently used for monitoring brain function, including functional magnetic resonance imaging (fmri), electroencephalography (EEG), eye tracker, and functional near infrared spectroscopy (fnirs).Cognitive learning disability the speakers will share in-depth knowledge on pros and cons of these select techniques, their potential implementation in aviation and information processing and analysis.Cognitive learning disability

Cognitive systems engineering (CSE) and its main application, ecological interface design (EID), are approximately 30 years old now. Starting with an example application in process control, and a seminal publication in 1992, EID found its way into process control first.Cognitive learning disability this sparked interest in other safety-critical application domains, most notably, vehicle control in the aviation domain.

A distinctive trait of the approach has been the recognition that in all human endeavors we are bound by the constraints posed upon us by our surroundings.Cognitive learning disability our design choices, economics, goals and needs and the physics of the world constrain the possible courses of action. The starting point in CSE is to determine what these constraints are.Cognitive learning disability in contrast to “cognitive psychology” approaches, CSE starts not by looking what is inside the head (of the operator or user), but at what the head is inside of.Cognitive learning disability EID continues by finding a visualization for the constraints thus discovered.

In this workshop a test case of designing a visualization for air traffic control separation support will be central.Cognitive learning disability first, a theoretical background will be provided dealing with the utilization of a constraint-based design method in the domain of air traffic control.Cognitive learning disability next, participants are invited to work on a work domain analysis, and reflect on how results of this analysis may influence display design. In response to this reflection, the workshop organizers will explain several approaches and EID designs in aircraft energy management, conflict resolution and air traffic control applications.Cognitive learning disability finally, the workshop participants can experience work with an ATC simulation, with and without support from an ecological display. As such, this workshop completes a full design cycle comprising theory, modeling, and evaluation.Cognitive learning disability

This workshop will present several pattern-based methods for solving data analysis problems that are challenging to traditional approaches. The novelty and power of the methods are based on the manner in which they make use of patterns that characterize group differences.Cognitive learning disability for this workshop, group differences will be represented by emerging patterns (aka contrast patterns) that distinguish two given data groups or classes.Cognitive learning disability A data group is just a set of data instances of particular interest to a data analyst. While the methods were originally developed in the field of data mining and machine learning, this workshop will present the methods and related materials in a fashion suitable for researchers and practitioners whose background is not computer science.Cognitive learning disability the workshop will present quite a few successful applications in non-computing disciplines to illustrate the methods. It is hoped that this workshop will inspire researchers to replicate the success in those applications by solving similar data analysis problems in aviation psychology.Cognitive learning disability

We now give some highlight on how emerging patterns can be used. Emerging patterns can be used as distinguishing characterizations of a given data group.Cognitive learning disability this power has been used many times by researchers, for example to discover biomarkers for given diseases, to determine “conditions under which street crimes are likely to occur”, to identify patterns that are unique in specific music types, and so on.Cognitive learning disability emerging patterns are highly discriminative with respect to give data classes. This makes them highly useful for classification modeling. Emerging patterns can represent multi-factor interactions for given complex diseases/problems.Cognitive learning disability this makes them useful for ranking factors and for identifying the most influential factors for complex problems. Emerring patterns can be used to characterize subpopulations where a given prediction model makes large prediction errors and where new models can lead to significant prediction error reduction.Cognitive learning disability this makes them useful for prediction modeling and improvement. Besides the above four uses (namely characterization, classification, factor ranking for complex problems, model analysis and improvement), emerging patterns have also been used for clustering, outlier/anomaly detection, regression, and subpopulationwise conditional correlation analysis.Cognitive learning disability interestingly, these emerging pattern based methods do not need to use distance metrics, thus avoiding pitfalls of such metrics in exploratory analysis over high dimensional data.Cognitive learning disability moreover, expert use of emerging patterns help one to get improved problem solving results by going beyond traditional methods which rely on one or two dimensional techniques.Cognitive learning disability

As a 13-year member and now chairman of the US national transportation safety board (NTSB), chairman sumwalt will discuss lessons learned from aircraft accident investigation, with an emphasis on aviation human factors.Cognitive learning disability using actual aircraft accidents, robert will discuss how things can go wrong when human factors are not considered and incorporated into design of the system and its operation and maintenance.Cognitive learning disability

In this talk, I will demonstrate how the perceptual quality of any interface or system cannot really be understood without reference to the emerging field of multisensory integration research.Cognitive learning disability there has been a growing realization in recent years of the importance of multisensory design: the idea here being that one’s product, device, or interface should have multiple sensory touch points.Cognitive learning disability however, what many people typically fail to realize are the profound, if often surprising, ways in which changing one sensory attribute of a product, system, or interface can impact on a user’s perception of qualities that are more normally associated with another sense.Cognitive learning disability so, for example, one can change the feel of a mobile device by changing the sound it makes when the user touches it. Research on multisensory perception is also starting to provide important insights for the design of multisensory displays and warning systems for human operators working in a variety of situations, focusing in particular on multisensory warning signals for car drivers.Cognitive learning disability the hope is that by gaining a better understanding of the rules governing multisensory perception, and the different neural circuits controlling attention/behaviour in different regions of space, in humans we will gain a better handle on both measuring, and knowing how to improve the perceived quality and usability of a variety of systems, interfaces, devices making them more more intuitive to use/respond to, and possibly even safer too.Cognitive learning disability

As machine technologies have advanced, aviation has evolved into human-autonomy teaming architectures that have machines doing things, and humans supervising.Cognitive learning disability is this the right architecture for human-autonomy teams in aviation? This talk will muse about other architectures for human-autonomy teams that can better support the human contribution to safety, noting the machine capabilities that aviation human factors practitioners should help technologists develop.Cognitive learning disability
