Neuroergonomics is the application of neuroscience to ergonomics . Traditional ergonomic studies have relied largely on psychological explanations of issues of human factors , such as safety, response time, and repetitive stress injuries. Neuroergonomics, by contrast, relies on biological explanations. Neuroergonomics has two major aims to use existing and emerging knowledge of human performance and brain function to design such systems for safer and more efficient operation, and to advance understanding of human brain function in relation to cognitive processes and performance in real world tasks. To meet these goals, neuroergonomics combines two disciplines neuroscience, the study of brain function, and human factors, the study of how to match technology with the capabilities and limitations of people so they can work effectively and safely. The goal of merging these two fields is to use the startling discoveries of human brain and physiological functioning both to inform the design of technologies in the workplace and home, and to provide new training methods that enhance performance, expand capabilities, and optimize the fit between people and technology. Research in the area of neuroergonomics has blossomed in recent years with the emergence of noninvasive techniques for monitoring human brain function that can be used to study various aspects of human behavior in relation to technology and work, including mental workload, visual attention, working memory, motor control, human automation interaction, and adaptive automation. Consequently, this interdisciplinarity interdisciplinary field is concerned with investigations of the nervous system neural bases of human perception , cognition , and performance in relation to systems and technologies in the real life real world ...

Alphonse Chapanis 1917 2002 was a pioneer in the field of industrial design , and is widely considered one of the fathers of ergonomics or human factors the science of ensuring that design takes account of human characteristics. Chapanis was notably active in improving aviation safety around the time of World War II , although his career covered a wide range of domains and applications. One of his major contributions was shape coding in the aircraft cockpit . After a series of runway crashes of the Boeing B 17 , Chapanis found that certain cockpit controls were confused with each other, due partly to their proximity and similarity of shape. Particularly, the controls for flap aircraft flaps and landing gear were confused, the consequences of which could be severe. Chapanis proposed attaching a wheel to the end of the landing gear control and a triangle to the end of the flaps control, to enable them to be easily distinguished by touch alone. Thereafter for that aircraft there were no further instances of the landing gear being mistakenly raised while the aircraft was still on the ground. This particular shape coding of cockpit controls is still used today.
