ABSTRACT
Many test environments have been constructed to support experiments with human participants. Some, such as thc Multi-Attribute Task Battery (MA TB) and Virtual Battlefield System 2 (YBS2), are used widely throughout thc rcsearch community. However, each is limited, particularly in their integration, or lack thereof, of physiological measures . The Mixed Initiative Experimental (MIX) testbcd was constructed to capitalize on the bencfits affordcd by MATB and VBS2 and address the weaknesses present in those test environmcnts. Theory driven tasks, integrated physiological and logging capabilities, and an easily reconfigurable interface define the MIX testbed. For those reasons, the MIX testbed is proposed as the next generation approach for testing environmcnts.
