Presents the theories and assesses the impact of automation on different aspects of human performance. This book also provides both basic and applied research to highlight the general principles of human-computer interaction in several domains where automation technologies are implemented.

Neuroergnomics can be defined as the study of brain and behavior at work. It combines two disciplines -- neuroscience, the study of brain function, and human factors, the study of how to match technology with the capabilities and limitations of people so they can work effectively and safely. The goal of merging these two fields is to use the startling discoveries of human brain and physiological functioning both to inform the design of technologies in the workplace and home, and to provide new training methods that enhance performance, expand capabilites, and optimize the fit between people...
