Rapid advances in IT that allow complex information to be presented in high volume and density are challenging human ability to absorb and analyze data as never before. Designing technologies and systems to provide optimal sensory information to human users will be increasingly important. But to do this, quantitative relationships between brain behavior at a molecular level and observable human behavior must be better identified. This was previously considered to be a futuristic, and somewhat unrealistic, goal, however, recent advances in cognitive neuroscience have provided new opportunities for researchers. Refinements in imaging technology and simulation tools, and the ... Read more

Reviews for Quantifying Human Information Processing
Our characterization of how humans extract and process information depends on how we measure it, and the resulting quantification ultimately determines the applicability of this science in the design of systems to optimize and enhance human performance. Toward this end, the Potomac Institute’s new volume, Quantifying Human Information Processing, makes a significant and timely contribution. More than a collection of ... Read more
