Ergonomics Research
Our research consists of applied industrial ergonomics, including basic
biomechanics and cognitive ergonomics, occupational ergonomics consulting,
training programs, and cost-effective ergonomic solutions for corporations
and individuals.
The Ergonomics Center of North Carolina. ISE faculty work closely with trained ergonomists, engineers, mathematicians and exercise physiologists at the Center on both theoretical and applied research. They conduct product and process evaluations and find answers to a broad range of questions relating to ergonomics and biomechanics.
NC State Ergonomics Lab. Examples of research being conducted in our lab by ISE faculty and students include: Comparison of Physiological and Secondary Task Measures for Triggering Adaptive Automation, for the NASA Langley Research Center; Development of a Stochastic Model of Trunk Muscle Activity; Automation-state Changes and Sensory Cueing in Complex Systems Control, for the Office of Naval Research Human Systems Science and Technology Department; and Telepresence in Teleoperations, for the National Science Foundation.
