CENTEC: The Center of Excellence in Neuroergonomics, Cognition, and
Technology is recruiting graduate students for Fall 2011 admission to
the PhD program in Human Factors and Applied Cognition.
The major goal of the CENTEC is to help support the US Air Force
mission of enhanced human effectiveness in air, space, and cyberspace
operations through research in neuroergonom! ics, tech ensure
sustained progress in this emerging scientific field, another goal of
the Center is to train graduate students and postdoctoral fellows in
advanced areas of research in neuroergonomics.
Neuroergonomics is the study of the human brain in relation to
performance at work, transportation, and other everyday settings. The
central premise of neuroergonomics is that research and practice in
human factors and cognitive engineering can be enriched by
consideration of theories and results from neuroscience.
Neuroergonomics has two major goals: (1) To advance understanding of
human brain function in relation to mental and physical processes and
performance in real-world tasks; and (2) To use existing and emerging
knowledge of human performance and brain function to design
technologies, systems, and environments for safe, efficient, and
enjoyable work.
Members of CENTEC employ a wide variety of neuroscience and
behavioral technics, ranging from fMRI, EEG/ERP, gaze-contingent eye
tracking, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), Transcranial
Doppler Sonography (TDS), genetics, and neural and cognitive modeling.
