It reports on novel theoretical findings on mental workload and stress, activity theory, human reliability, error and risk, and neuroergonomic measures alike, together with a wealth of cutting-edge applications. Further, the book describes key advances in our understanding of cognitive processes, including mechanisms of perception, memory, reasoning, and motor response, with a special emphasis on their role in interactions between humans and other elements of computer-based systems. Based on the AHFE’s main track on Neuroergonomics and Cognitive Engineering, held on July 17–21, 2017 in Los Angeles, California, USA, it provides readers with a comprehensive overview of the current challenges in cognitive computing and factors influencing human performance.
