Wentink, M. (author), Correia Grácio, B.J. (author), Bles, W. (author), TNO Defensie en Veiligheid (author)In the real world in which we move around, inertial and visual motion are usually equal; what you see is what you feel. In a simulator, however, this is usually not the case. On the contrary, due to the relatively small motion space of even the largest simulators, the inertial motion cues must be filtered and scaled down considerably. Typically,...conference paper 2009

Support is often based on mobile maps. People have different preferences for map orientations (heading-up or north-up), but map orientations also have different advantages and disadvantages. In general north-up maps are good for building up situation awareness and heading-up maps...conference paper 2008

Typically, a we-centric service provides hints and reasons to contact others, and, because these other people receive similar hints and reasons, stimulates and facilitates people to experience "we".

(author), TNO Industrie en Techniek (author)In far-side impacts, the time span between the car-to-car impact and the occupant interaction with the interior is longer than 200 ms. In this time span, the reaction of the driver might affect the injury outcome significantly. The objective of this study was to demonstrate the differences between the active and passive human response and the...article 2008

van Maanen, P.P. (author), Klos, T. (author), van Dongen, C.J. (author), TNO Defensie en Veiligheid (author)This paper involves a human-agent system in which there is an operator charged with a pattern recognition task, using an automated decision aid. The objective is to make this human-agent system operate as effectively as possible. Effectiveness is gained by an increase of appropriate reliance on the operator and the aid. We studied whether it is...conference paper 2007

van Maanen, P.P. (author), de Koning, L. (author), van Dongen, C.J. (author), TNO Defensie en Veiligheid (author)This paper addresses the development of an adaptive cooperative agent in a domain that suffers from human error in the allocation of attention. The design is discussed of a component of this adaptive agent, called Human Attention-Based Task Allocator (HABTA), capable of managing agent and human attention. The HABTA-component reallocates the...conference paper 2007

Augmented Cognition aims to compensate for temporal limitations in human information processing, for instance in the case of overload, cognitive lockup, and underload. Adaptive behavior,...conference paper 2007

van Maanen, P.P. (author), Klos, T. (author), van Dongen, C.J.G. (author), TNO Defensie en Veiligheid (author)This paper argues that it is important to study issues concerning trust and reliance when developing systems that are intended to augment cognition. Operators often under-rely on the help of a support system that provides advice or that performs certain cognitive tasks autonomously. The decision to rely on support seems to be largely determined...conference paper 2007

However, in such complex, autonomous, and information-rich environments a competition for the users' attention is going on between different information items, possibly leading to a cognitive overload. This overload originates in the limitations of...bookPart 2007

(author), TNO Defensie en Veiligheid (author)Knowledge of thresholds for perception of inertial motion is needed for the design of simulator motion filters. Experiments have generally been done to measure these thresholds in isolation, one motion at the time. In vehicle simulation however, several motions occur concurrently. In a flight simulator, both inertial and visual cues are provided...conference paper 2006

van Erp, J.B.F.

An analogous multi-dimensionality applies to haptic and tactile stimuli. Based on the fact that the human visual system only has two receptor types (cones and rods) while the sense of...conference paper 2006

Grootjen, M. (author), Neerincx, M.A. (author), van Weert, J.C.M. (author), TNO Defensie en Veiligheid (author)In the last 2 decades, the application of new technologies in process control caused a radical change in the role of the operator. To cope with these changes, the operator needs personalized support that can vary over time. To realize this support, we present the design and first testing of a framework for adaptive support. First an analysis was...conference paper 2006
