Collaborative projects

A strategic partnership is developing simulation scenarios for training individual and collaborative skills in home and palliative care. This includes a mobile app for narrative feedback and a shared dashboard for team debriefing, tested with health profession students in Germany and Sweden.

Understanding the mental states of operators in complex environments, like control rooms, is crucial, as factors such as workload and alertness significantly impact performance and can lead to human errors. While systems alert when technical issues arise, there are no sensors to monitor human functioning in interaction with high-tech systems. Issues like operator overload, boredom, or reduced concentration often go unnoticed, posing risks to overall performance and safety.

The BCI testbed project at the BMS Lab focuses on harnessing brain signals and developing practical applications. Researchers from both the University of Twente and external partners are collaborating to address challenges across various projects. The testbed's development, centered on adaptability to the human state of mind, is a key long-term initiative. The research is based on three use cases that involve using sensors, such as EEG, heart rate, and stress monitors, to adapt machine feedback and process management.
