The research question
Can your control-room operators maintain the right level of attention across all the information competing for their focus?
Control Room Attention Metrics measures how operators distribute and sustain attention across screens, alarms, dashboards, CCTV, indicators, physical controls and communications while monitoring and responding to an operational system.

Typical protocol · Industrial
How this study is executed.
The protocol below reflects the service definition developed for Neuro Garage. Final details are confirmed before execution.
Map screens, alarms, indicators and other critical information sources.
Run the real or simulated monitoring task.
Capture gaze transitions, detection timing and prioritization behavior across the full information field.
Identify missed alarms, ignored zones, excessive screen switching and moments of attentional overload.
Redesign information distribution and response procedures around the evidence.
