While there have been tremendous advances in our scientific
understanding of the brain, this work has been largely academic,
and often oriented toward clinical publication. Cognitive
Neuroscience of Human Systems: Work and Everyday Life addresses the
relationship between neurophysiological processes and the
performance and experience of humans in everyday life. It samples
the vast neuroscience literature to identify those areas of
research that speak directly to the performance and experience of
humans in everyday settings, highlighting the practical, everyday
application of brain science. The book explains the underlying
basis for well-established principles from human factors,
ergonomics, and industrial engineering and design. It also sheds
new light on factors affecting human performance and behavior. This
is not an academic treatment of neuroscience, but rather a
translation that makes modern brain science accessible and easily
applicable to systems design, education and training, and the
development of policies and practices. The authors supply clear and
direct guidance on the applications of principles from brain
science to everyday problems. With discussions of topics from brain
science and their relevance to everyday activities, the book
focuses on the science, describing the findings and the studies
producing these findings. It then decodes how these findings relate
to everyday life and how you can integrate them into your work to
achieve more effective outcomes based on a fundamental
understanding of how the operations of the human brain produce
behavior and modulate performance.
