Description
Broadly defined as the science and technology of systems responding to neural processes in the brain, neuroadaptive systems (NASs) has become a rapidly developing area of study. One of the first books available in this emerging area, Neuroadaptive Systems: Theory and Applications synthesizes knowledge about human behavior, cognition, neural process
Reviews / Votes
"I am deeply convinced that the approach and selection of topics of this book is appropriate for audiences interested in several areas; from psychology and neurophysiology to biocybernetics, because of the range of questions related to the mechanisms of behavior and the possibilities of using this knowledge in cybernetics modeling. ... unique in its integration of cognitive and behavioral psychology with neurology and new biocybernetics perspectives. ..."-Danuta Koradecka, Central Institute for Labour Protection - National Research Institute, Warsaw, Poland
"... an excellent overview of the fast growing field of NAS with the advances in cognitive neuroscience, neuroimaging methods, and computational and sensor technologies. It outlines and describes contemporary research findings and the implications of Neuroadaptive technologies with insights into the cutting edge of the field. It provides graduate students and professionals references and tools for this rapidly developing field."
-Patrick Rau, Director, Institute of Human Factors and Ergonomics, Department of Industrial Engineering, Tsinghua University, Beijing, China
"... a useful review of the emerging area of neuroadaptive systems. It is increasingly clear that theories and empirical findings from neuroscience can inform the development and evaluation of new technologies to support human workers, as evidenced by the growth of the field of neuroergonomics. This volume follows in this trend and shows that systems that provide support to human operators adaptively can be made more effective if they include a neuroscience perspective."
-Raja Parasuraman, George Mason University, Fairfax, Virginia, USA
