Performance, ergonomics, security

• Human factors

  Depending on :

  • Stress
  • Effort and mental load
  • Level of vigilance
  • Attention and memory cost
  • Motivation
  • Learning

  Special populations :

  • Pathologies
  • Impairments
  • Senescence
  • Youth topics
  • High-level sportsmen and women.

• Human-Machine-Environment-Interactions

  Perceptual responses

  • Analysis of sensory biases: Judgement ; Uncertainty ; Sensory illusions (vision, hearing/ vestibular system, movement...)

   

  Motor responses (using biomechanics and eye tracking)

  • Type of movement
  • Type of coordination

  Physiological responses

  • Cardiac system, cardiac variability (ECG)
  • Electrodermal activity for stress measurement (GSR)
  • Muscle activity (type of [space-time] contraction) (EMG)

  Brain responses

  • Imaging observations dureing the execution of a task (fMRI,...)
  • Neurophysiology (EEG, MEG).

• Knowledge and handling of the environment

  Knowledge of complex environments

  • Clinic/ Aeronautics...
  • Recommendation and design of HMIs (machine and equipment)

   

  Handling of environments

  • VR-RA development
  • Creation of custom immersive environments
  • Analysis of usages, interactions, commands and interfaces
  • Behavioural analysis
  • Creation and/or evaluation of e-learning content.

• Mechanical and body parameters for the design of materials, prototypes and protective equipment

  Analysis and mechanical characterization

  • Resistance tests
  • Tensile, compression, shear, rotation, and tension tests...
