ABSTRACT

This paper will focus on recent applications of techniques and methods from Cognitive Psychophysiology to Human Factors and Ergonomics. It will begin by providing a definition of Cognitive Psychophysiology followed by a brief historical discussion of the use of psychophysiological techniques in Human Factors. It will then discuss the types of Human Factors questions and issues that might be addressed with Cognitive Psychophysiology and will provide illustrative examples of applications of psychophysiological measures to Human Factors issues. Finally, it will discuss potential future applications of Cognitive Psychophysiology to Human Factors.
