Neuroergonomics: A Cognitive Neuroscience Approach (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798887403069)

Neuroergonomics is an emerging science that is defined as the study of the human brain and behavior at work. It integrates two scientific disciplines, namely, neuroscience and ergonomics. Neuroscience is concerned with study of the structure and function of the brain while ergonomics deals with understanding the interactions among human and other elements of a system. Ergonomics also focuses on the optimization of this interaction. The objective of combining these two disciplines is to enhance the performance and expand the capabilities at workplace by providing new training methods. Functional neuroimaging, neurostimulation, and psychophysiology are the three principal approaches used in neuroergonomics. Some of the areas of study within this field are working memory, motor control, mental workload, visual attention and human-automation interaction. This book includes some of the vital pieces of work being conducted across the world, on various topics related to neuroergonomics. It brings forth some of the most innovative concepts and elucidates a cognitive neuroscience approach to this field. This book is a vital tool for all researching and studying in this field.
