The Cognition Laboratory is a part of the Human-Automation Integration Research Branch at NASA Ames Research Center. We conduct research which involves modeling the human operator in human-machine systems and experiments on normal human perceptual and cognitive processes. Current modeling efforts focus on the task of the human operator in Air Traffic Control. Experiments range from basic to applied. All experiments are administered via computer, with participants watching the monitor and answering by using the keyboard or mouse. Examples of experiments include attentional control, dual-tasking, and the detection of conflicts in an Air Traffic Control display.
