| Review: | Neuroergonomics gives an understanding of how the brain function can inform the design of work that is safe, efficient and pleasant. This book shows how the brain-based perspective of neuroergonomics builds upon neuroscience and human factors psychology and engineering to help us understand brain function and behaviour in the complex tasks of everyday life, looked at in their normal settings. The 22 chapters cover a wide range of topics, and are written by specialists in medicine, human factors engineering, physiology, neuroimaging, public health policy and the law. The chapters are divided into five areas: an introduction to neuroergonomics; neuroergonomic methods; perception, cognition and emotion; stress, fatigue and physical work; technology applications; special populations; and a look at the future of neuroergonomics. |
