NSF funds our M3X collaboration on Human-Automation Trust

Posted on April 26, 2021 by rmehta

NSF recently funded our Mind-Motor-Machine project collaboration with HFML lab on developing neural trust models of human-AV interactions. This project will promote the progress of science and advance the national health by advancing an understanding of human-automation trust. Specifically, the project will address the limitations of existing trust measures, model trust and driver behavior, and determine how autonomous vehicles that incorporate trust calibration models can influence dynamic trust and driving behavior.

More details on the project can be found at NSF

New NSF Convergence Accelerator award on LEARNER (Learning Environments with Augmentation and Robotics for Next-gen Emergency Responders)!

Posted on September 12, 2020 by rmehta

LEARNER (Learning Environments with Augmentation and Robotics for Next-gen Emergency Responders) is a mixed-reality learning environment with physical, augmented and virtual reality components for users to learn to work effectively with nascent human augmentation technologies. This new learning environment will feature powered exoskeletons and head-worn augmented reality interfaces to augment responders’ physical and cognitive capabilities.

More details on the project can be found at the LEARNER project page and with the Texas A&M Media coverage

New NSF Smart & Connected Health project on iPAL (Intelligent Pervasive Augmented reaLity therapy) for Opioid Use Disorder and Recovery

Posted on July 24, 2020 by rmehta

The NeuroErgonomics Lab received funding from NSF on developing and evaluating iPAL (Intelligent Pervasive Augmented reaLity therapy) for Opioid Use Disorder and Recovery. This project will develop intelligent Pervasive Augmented reaLity therapies (iPAL) – a technology-enabled OUD intervention that aims to help OUD sufferers manage their cravings to reduce their risk for relapse or overdose. iPAL integrates complementary psychotherapies (cognitive behavioral therapy and heart rate variability biofeedback) with immersive technologies (augmented and mixed reality) that will offer convenience, discretion in use, in the moment/real-time through personalized strategies. This work is poised to revolutionize how individuals learn, discover, create, and heal in the broader context of developing treatment strategies for those with OUD.

National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine Grant on Fatigue and Safety Culture in Oil and Gas Industry

Posted on June 9, 2020 by rmehta

Sponsor: NASEM

Overview: Traditionally, safety culture is measured with a lengthy annual employee survey. Survey methodology is fraught with limitations including low response rates, considerable time required to summarize and interpret data, and failure to capture meaningful changes between surveys. This project aims to develop and test field-friendly measurement tools, including experience sampling methodology and wearable devices; and to design, develop, and evaluate the value of a dashboard called EMPOWER (Evaluate, Measure, Promote Offshore Worker Engagement and Readiness). The EMPOWER dashboard will display worker psychological (safety culture) and physiological (lack of fatigue or readiness) data on an interactive interface that supervisors can access daily to support organizational decision making. The research team will evaluate the extent to which supervisors value and anticipate using such previously unavailable data in real time; as well as the data’s impact on hypothetical offshore scenario-based decision-making.

Collaborators: Payne, Sasangohar
