My favorite scientific figure

We often get challenged to explain why the human (and human factors research) is still relevant in the face of advanced automation/autonomous or otherwise intelligent technology. If computers are doing the work, doesn’t this simply absolve human involvement and consideration, ipso facto? Can’t we just automate the human out of it? How do things like interface design, mental models, human states and knowledge come into play? What does psychology offer to engineering?

The answer is that (aside from the fact that humans for now continue to mostly be the ones building such systems up from the inside) there is  a lot  going on at the outside of the core technology at hand. Essentially, most technology is still and probably will be for a long time, built by and for humans to consume/use.

Developed Research Software/Code

Customizable Visual N-back GUI: Driver distraction/cognitive loading task (e.g., secondary task) 

 

Application information:

nback_GUI v 1.0 (June 5th, 2017)

A flexible programmable secondary task is provided as a modified version of N-Back. This GUI allows the experimenter to setup a visual manual N-back task that requires participants to key in responses when presented with a prompt “?????” asking them what was the target number seen 1 time, 2 times, or 3 times ago. Automatic scoring and auditory feedback is pre-programmed for correct and incorrect responses. The experimenter can customize the target values, intervals between targets, and amount of targets, and/or pre-load a provided set. Various display information items can be toggled on/off including: a running score, the last number the user responded with, the correct answer (whether from 1, 2, or 3 times ago), the table of target intervals and target values. From such customizable features, this N-Back secondary task can be adjusted in terms of difficulty/ease as needed (e.g., with more or less burden on memory).

Driver State Monitor: Real time eye tracking classification of distraction, drowsiness, and/or cognitive Load

Application information:

“A multi-state driver monitoring system has been developed and demonstrated at the IEEE International Conference on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics (SMC) (Cabrall et al., 2016). This system (DSM 1) was programmed with classification criteria from previous driving safety literature and studies as described per driver state sub-sections below. DSM 1 functions by simultaneously processing eye-behaviour data through three separate analyses to detect non-mutually exclusive sub-states of driver distraction, drowsiness, and/or cognitive overload. DSM 1 consequentially triggers and raises a general elevated detection of off-nominal driver eyes based on the presence of any of these compromised driver states.”
