ABSTRACT
Adaptive automation is a nascent area of research with numerous challenges remaining; it is an exciting time to be involved with the area of work. This chapter explains the similarity between requirements for effective adaptive automation and teamwork concepts. Systems monitoring and procedure maintenance functions would be as necessary for adaptive automation as they are for human teams. A taxonomy of hazardous states of awareness (HSA) has been developed to further understand types of HSAs and encourage systematic study of countermeasures. Selecting the psychophysiological signals for the task-modulating index is critical when implementing psychophysiologically based adaptive automation. One proposal for cognitive augmentation through adaptive aiding for air traffic control employs the method of inverse modeling using artificial neural networks to update the psychophysiologically adaptive automation paradigm. An advanced adaptive automation method would adapt the method of inverse modeling using neural networks for the purpose of cognitive augmentation of a controller operator performing an air traffic controltask.
