$4.8M collaborative biometrics project enables AI algorithms to detect fatigue

Posted on August 18, 2022 by Lindsey Brenner

The NeuroErgonomics Lab is collaborating with Dr. Roozbeh Jafari, Dr. Steven Riechman, Dr. Arul Jayaraman, and Dr. Heather Bean at Arizona State University, on a $4.8 million multidisciplinary project to study human breath and develop artificial intelligence algorithms to predict fatigued states

Fatigue research at the intersections of complex risk factors stemming from sleep deprivation, cognitive and physical overload, and their interplays, is critical to help develop guidelines and innovative solutions for effective monitoring and management of fatigue across various industry sectors. The NeuroErgonomics Lab has been working at these intersections for the past decade across lab and field settings, and we are excited to expand our knowledge base through this new venture with a very uniquely formed multidisciplinary team!!

Highlights from the Neuroergonomics and NYC Neuromodulation Conference 2022!

Posted on August 3, 2022 by Lindsey Brenner

This week the NeuroErgonomics Laboratory attended the Neuroergonomics and NYC Neuromodulation Conference 2022! During this conference, we heard colleagues and fellow researchers in neuroergonomics and neuromodulation address the state-of-the-art neurotechnology for brain-body performance and health. This conference covered many areas of interest including Brain/Body Performance, Skill Acquisition, Stress and Fatigue, Pain, Addiction and Binge Eating, Cognition and Physical Recovery, Eye-tracking, Neuromarketing, and Remote/mobile sensing in the wild.

Each speaker and session brought valuable insight into the future of neurotechnology and we were excited to connect and share with everyone attending. Our team also had the wonderful opportunity of presenting our work during sessions, lightning talks, and abstract presentations at poster sessions.

Dr. Ranjana Mehta presenting “The eyes are windows into the brain: Sex parity for effective human-autonomy teaming” in the Social and Consumer Neuroergonomics session. She also organized the session: Promoting emerging scientists and diversity in Neurotech: A Discussion”  and was the diversity and accessibility chair for the conference.

Tiash Rana Mukherjee’s ⚡️lightning ⚡️ talk on “Neural, muscular, and perceptual responses with Shoulder Exoskeleton use over days.”

Oshin Tyagi’s⚡️lightning ⚡️ talk on “TMS applications to uncover central mechanisms of fatigue under stress”

John Hayes’⚡️lightning ⚡️ talk on “Brain Dynamics Associated with Psychomotor Training Using Augmented Reality”

Each member of our team also submitted abstracts of current projects and had the opportunity to present their work at poster sessions throughout the conference. You can find the pdf versions of the posters linked below.

John Hayes – BRAIN DYNAMICS ASSOCIATED WITH PSYCHOMOTOR TRAINING USING AUGMENTED REALITY 

Aakash – Neural Signatures of Trust in Human-Robot Collaboration: A Tale of Two Use-Cases

Oshin Tyagi – TMS applications to uncover central mechanisms of fatigue under stress

Yixin Zhang – Heart Rate Variability as a Biomarker for Working Memory Performance and Fatigue Perception

Shivangi Dwivedi and Isabella Pedron – Neurophysiological and Perceptual Evaluation of Adaptive Augmented Reality Based Training

Tiash Rana Mukherjee – Neural, Muscular, and Perceptual responses with Shoulder Exoskeleton use over days

Yinsu Zhang – Neural Signatures of Dynamic Trust in AVs

Two of our lab members, Oshin Tyagi and Aakash, were also awarded the Abbott Science and Society Award for Emerging Scientists! We are thankful for recourses and opportunities like the Abbott award that makes sharing our research and attending conferences like this possible! Way to go Oshin and Aakash!

Thanks for a wonderful event and thank you NYC for welcoming a part of Texas A&M University! Gig em’!

Houston HFES Symposium 2022 – Teams EMPOWER and NHANCE with oral presentations and teams STEM, LEARNER, and EMPOWER with poster presentations!

Posted on May 3, 2022 by Lindsey Brenner

What a wonderful Houston HFES Symposium 2022! Thank you to everyone who made this event such a great, engaging experience. We were happy to share our research with everyone and to see the work of human factors and ergonomics researchers from all over Texas.

John Kang presented both a poster and oral presentation on  “Correlations between fatigue measures from various fatigue assessment methods and time on Offshore Platforms” for team EMPOWER.

Reed Smoot with team NHANCE presented “Non-invasive brain stimulation as a #fatigue countermeasure: On timing and focality.”

Harlyn Nguyen presented a poster on “Central Mechanisms during Fatiguing Exercises under the influence of Cognitive Stress” with team STEM.

Isabella Pedron, Connor Barnes, and Ashley Bailly presented a poster on “Analysis of Cognitive Personalized Emergency Medical Training Using Augmented Reality” with the LEARNER team.

The LEARNER team was also awarded the Best Poster Award at the event by the Houston HFES Committee!

The NeuroErgonomics Lab is so proud!
