Cognitive Ergonomics

Undergraduate

Human cognition and perception shape our interaction with the surrounding world and influence the way we use objects and tools in the workplace. While ergonomics focuses on the physical element involved in human-machine interaction, this course will concentrate on discovering how cognition and perception affect the way we perceive objects, process relevant information, and produce adequate responses. This course will also address how cognition and perception can be measured when assessing and developing effective human-machine interactions.
