Human Factors is a cross-disciplinary field that "examines the relationship between human beings and the systems with which they interact, and focuses on improving efficiency, productivity, creativity and job satisfaction, with the goal of minimizing errors" (World Health Organization). In the Human Systems Lab, we leverage our expertise in Psychology, Kinesiology, and Engineering to solve real-world challenges in manufacturing, transportation and beyond.

What is human factors?
In this research we use brain sensors to investigate the human factors that using genAI tools like ChatGPT has on cognition, memory and skill development.
We use Virtual Reality to investigate how humans interact with machines in driving, manufacturing and the military. We combine VR with eye-tracking, physiological, and neuroimaging techniques to measure the human behavior.
We use eye-tracking and brain sensors to investigate the benefits that engaging with arts has on cognition.
We use a Tesla Model 3 and a high-fidelity driving simulator to investigate how driving automated vehicles affect cognitive workload, glance allocation and situation awareness.
Windsor Police Service and the Human Systems Lab are collaborating on a study to measure the prevalence of distracted driving in selected areas in Windsor
