Importantly, our work considers not only humans acting in isolation, but also in small groups as they do in a range of situations, including many that are relevant to military contexts.\u00a0 To do so, we use an array of virtual reality, augmented reality, mobile eye tracking, ambulatory EEG, and ambulatory physiological recording systems to solve real-world problems.\u00a0 Critically, all of these systems can be combined to provide multiple measures of human performance (e.g., brain activity, physiological arousal, eye gaze) in virtual and real-world settings, creating a host of new and unparalleled capabilities for researchers interested in solving practical, real-world problems.<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Humans live in a rich, vibrant, and dynamic world that both elicits and affords behavior, not only within the environment, but also with other human beings.\u00a0 Until recently, it has been particularly challenging to obtain state of the art measures of behavioral and neurophysiological activity in natural environments (i.e., outside of laboratory conditions). \u00a0As a [&hellip;]","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"class_list":["post-2","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
