The research question

Does your worker adapt naturally to the work environment, or does the design itself create distractions, overload or unnecessary error?

Industrial Human Factors studies how workers interact with information, tools, interfaces, procedures and the physical operating environment while performing their actual functions. It can examine situational awareness, decision-making, cognitive load, learning and skill acquisition, and team cognition.

ParticipantsIndustrial, mining and comparable operational personnel.

How this study is executed.

The protocol below reflects the service definition developed for Neuro Garage. Final details are confirmed before execution.

01

Define the real task, information sources, decision points and potential design frictions.

02

Run the worker through the real or simulated task under controlled observation.

03

Capture visual behavior and, when advanced, synchronized EEG during the same task timeline.

04

Locate overload, error-prone steps, ignored information, response delays and interaction bottlenecks.

05

Convert the evidence into changes to the system, task, interface or training.

Scientific configuration

The method follows the question

Technology is selected because it is scientifically appropriate for the research objective, not because a device must be used. Santiago configures the study scope, stimuli, participant flow and measurement path before execution.
