There is general agreement that stress, fatigue, and mental workload exert significant influence on the quality of human performance (Hancock & Desmond, 2001). Research into this triad is united by the need to understand and predict changes in performance under conditions of challenge or duress. The appraisal of threat and the derivation of compensatory strategies to protect performance are described by a dynamic cycle of behavioral adaptation (Hancock & Warm, 1989). Hockey (1993, 1997) proposed a ...

A study was performed to investigate the relative contribution of game demand (easy, hard, impossible) and display type (small 5 display, large TV display, head-mounted display) on the experience of immersion. Fifteen participants played a racing game in a range of conditions. Players' experience of immersion was captured via a subjective questionnaire and evoked cortical potentials to an auditory oddball task. Results indicated that slow wave potentials were sensitive to task demand, i.e. impossible demand reduced attention to the game. There was also a weak effect of display type at both frontal and central sites that was indicative of greater immersion for the large TV screen compared to other display types. This study provides preliminary data on the decomposition of immersion into sensory and cognitive components.

Few studies have been concerned with those driver-system interaction issues underlying this category of technology. Eighteen male participants took part in a repeated measure design in which they performed simulated journeys with and without impairment feedback. The diagnosis ...

Cardiovascular effects were seen only with the bolus doses of laudanosine 2 mg kg-1, and at plasma laudanosine concentrations unlikely to be achieved clinically. Similarly, EEG and power spectra analysis showed no evidence of epileptiform activity at all plasma laudanosine concentrations achieved. The non-specific EEG/power spectra changes observed may reflect a direct CNS activity with neurodepression, since laudanosine was shown by its presence in CSF to cross the blood-brain barrier. These EEG changes were observed at plasma concentrations eight to 10 times those observed in humans during infusion of atracurium. Thus, laudanosine accumulation and related CNS or cardiovascular toxicity seem unlikely following atracurium administration in the anephric patient.

There is increased opportunity to use these data in computerised systems as forms of input control. As entry level physiological sensors become more widespread, physiological interfaces are liable to become more pervasive in our society (eg, through mobile phones). While these signals offer new and exciting mechanisms for the control of interactive systems, the issue of whether these physiological ...

The loop also encompasses the goals of the system design with respect to the anticipated impact of the adaptation on user behaviour. There are numerous challenges facing the designer of a biocybernetic loop in terms of measurement, data processing and adaptive design. These challenges are multidisciplinary in nature spanning psychology and computer science. This paper is concerned with the design ...

The identification of real-time psychophysiological variables capable of detecting and predicting operator subjective states is an important requisite for biocybernetic control. The present study investigated how psychophysiology may index negative subjective states, namely, task-disengagement, distress and worry.
