Mauro Usability Science Webinar: How Neuroscience Can Be Applied to Ergonomic Research

A Mauro Usability Science (MUS) webinar presented in collaboration with iMotions. MUS recently developed and validated the first fully integrated neuroscience-based human factors and ergonomics testing platform for seating systems during video game play. Utilizing iMotions’ multimodal biometrics research platform, MUS captured 29 real-time measures of cognitive, ergonomic, and psychophysiological states over extended periods of screen time using 3D spatial tracking, eye-tracking, galvanic skin response, facial expression analysis, and additional sensors. With this approach, MUS was able to assess the ergonomic benefits of a novel seating design, with implications for workstation design, video game design, and skill acquisition. This webinar dives into how MUS carried out this study, and the essential aspect of collaboration, multimodality, and innovation across three different groups. The webinar is a valuable experience for any researchers interested in multimodal biometric research applications, and human factors and ergonomics researchers will find the webinar particularly inspiring for their own research endeavors.
