Steps toward building mathematical and computer models from cognitive task analyses.

Typically, detailed quantitative and computer models of human operators performing real world tasks cannot easily be developed. We propose a technique that more easily allows for that development. We propose that when a cognitive task analysis has been ...

Computational modeling of foveal target detection.

This paper presents the VDM2000, a computational model of target detection designed for use in military developmental test and evaluation settings. The model integrates research results from the fields of early vision, object recognition, and ...

Multi-channel evoked response detection using only phase information.

The phase consistency of contiguous segments of the electroencephalogram (EEG) has been used in the detection of evoked responses to rhythmic stimulation. One of such techniques is the component synchrony measure (CSM), which is often used since the ...

Error in skilled performance: a control model of prescribing.

A control model of skilled performance is proposed as a framework for understanding why prescribing errors occur at a particular rate. Model error rate depends on skill level, system design characteristics, the range of different types of prescriptions ...

A computational model as neurodecoder based on synchronous oscillation in the visual cortex.

Based on synchronized responses of neuronal populations in the visual cortex to external stimuli, we proposed a computational model consisting primarily of a neuronal phase-locked loop (NPLL) and multiscaled operator. The former reveals the function of ...

Behavioural accident avoidance science: understanding response in collision incipient conditions.

Road traffic accidents are the single greatest cause of fatality in the workplace and the primary cause of all accidental death in the US to the age of 78. However, behavioural analysis of response in the final seconds and milliseconds before collision ...

Adaptive tracking for pneumatic muscle actuators in bicep and tricep configurations.

Adaptive tracking techniques are applied to pneumatic muscle actuators arranged in bicep and tricep configurations. The control objective is to force the joint angle to track a specified reference path. Mathematical models are derived for the bicep and ...

Fuzzy signal detection theory: analysis of human and machine performance in air traffic control, and analytic considerations.

This paper applies fuzzy SDT (signal detection theory) techniques, which combine fuzzy logic and conventional SDT, to empirical data. Two studies involving detection of aircraft conflicts in air traffic control (ATC) were analysed using both conventional ...

A developmental approach AIDS motor learning.

Bernstein (1967) suggested that people attempting to learn to perform a difficult motor task try to ameliorate the degrees-of-freedom problem through the use of a developmental progression. Early in training, people maintain a subset of their control ...

MinK-related peptide 2 modulates Kv2.1 and Kv3.1 potassium channels in mammalian brain.

Delayed rectifier potassium current diversity and regulation are essential for signal processing and integration in neuronal circuits. Here, we investigated a neuronal role for MinK-related peptides (MiRPs), membrane-spanning modulatory subunits that ...
