Research
The MVL's goal is to better understand the physiological and cognitive limitations of pilots and passengers of aircraft and spacecraft, and to optimize overall human-vehicle system effectiveness and safety. Our research is interdisciplinary, utilizing techniques from:
- manual and supervisory control
- estimation
- signal processing
- biomechanics
- cognitive psychology
- artificial intelligence
- sensory-motor physiology
- human factors
- biostatistics.
