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 naive 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. Seven other titles in the
