Title: Human-Collective Teams
Abstract: The science to support humans supervising highly autonomous heterogeneous robotic collectives continues to emerge. Developing effective human-collective teams requires focusing on all aspects of the integrated system development, the mission characteristics, and the real-world deployment domain. Very large numbers of simplistic individuals use biologically inspired algorithms to solve more complex problems. The size and complexity of these systems precludes a human’s ability to fully understand and communicate with each individual in the collective. Thus, transparency into the collective’s state and influencing its actions are a significant challenge that requires a close coupling with the underlying algorithms and the application domain characteristics. This presentation will discuss aspects of real-world deployments that impact the ability to provide transparency while also permitting the achievement of mission objectives.

Biography

Dr. Kathleen Mosier is an Emeritus Professor of Psychology from San Francisco State University, Past-President of the International Ergonomics Association, and the Founder and Principal Scientist of TeamScape LLC, a company for research on human teams and human-automation teams. Dr. Mosier received an MA in Psychology from San Jose State University, Ph.D. in I/O Psychology from University of California, Berkeley, and her training in aerospace human factors at NASA Ames Research Center. Dr. Mosier has been conducting research on expert teams, decision making, automation, and cognition for over 35 years. She and a collaborator introduced the term automation bias to describe errors resulting from the tendency of professional pilots and other decision makers to use automation as a heuristic replacement for vigilant decision processes. Current projects include NASA-funded research efforts to examine the impact of operational variables such as communication latency and crew autonomy in long-duration missions on remote (space-ground) teams in space operations.

Title: Neuroergonomics for Aviation
Abstract: The emerging field of research, known as Neuroergonomics, maintains that in order to investigate complex real-world behavior it is necessary to understand the processes within the context of the underlying interacting brain networks rather than under reduced isolated conditions that only occur in the laboratory. This discipline promotes the use of highly portable devices (eg. fNIRS, EEG) to determine the neural correlates of perceptual, motor, and cognitive processing in highly ecological environments. Aviation operations constitute an ideal paradigm to implement this approach. The objective of this talk is to present recent advances in Neuroergonomic research addressing pilot’s failure of attention, decision making and social interactions as well as the design of cognitive countermeasures. We will also discuss the challenges of implementing neuroadaptive technology in the cockpit for safer operations.

Dr. Frédéric Dehais is a full professor at ISAE since 2011 and holder of the AXA chair “Neuroergonomics for flight safety” (20 years https://www.axa-research.org/project/fredericdehais), a rare credit attributed to less than thirty researchers in the world. He is leading the Human Factors and Neuroergonomics Departement, a team composed of 18 permanent and non-permanent members with an interdisciplinary expertise in Neuroscience, Signal Processing, Computer Science, and Human Factors. His research deals with understanding of the neural correlates of human error in real-life situations and the implementation of real-time solutions to mitigate human error. His research has been published in international journals such as Neuroimage, Human Brain Mapping, Behavioral Brain Research, IEEE, Plos One, Human Factors. His innovative work has also led to four international patents that are currently implemented in modern civilian aircrafts. He is he co-founder of the European 2f-NIRS conference with Dr. Stéphane Perrey and the International Neuroergonomics conference with Dr. Hasan Ayaz.

He defended his Ph.D. in 2004 at ONERA (Office National d’Etude et de Recherche Aeronautique) on the topic of modeling cognitive conflict in pilots’ activity. He held a 2-year postdoctoral position funded by Airbus applying the research developed during his Ph.D. Since 2006, he has been leading the Human Factors and Neuroergonomics team at ISAE, which works on academic and industrial projects for providing real-time assistance to human operators.

Professor Dehais was co-chair of the first International Neuroergonomics Conference, held in Paris, France in 2016. Neuroergonomics is an emerging scientific field that applies neuroscience to study performance. Its aim is to look at human skill and brain function in order to design systems for safer and more efficient operation.
