Measurement and Modification of Sensorimotor System Function during Visual-Motor Performance

Abstract

The objectives addressed during this phase of our work may be summarized as follows: 1) Complete initial study of sensorimotor and visual cortical EEG correlates of performance in an extended flight simulation task using band-pass analysis. Focus on intrinsic and imposed biological periodicities in these data; 2) Initiate second, more comprehensive study to provide greater resolution of EEG-performance correlates using power-spectral analysis. Focus on problems of situational confusion and fatigue; and 3) Establish program at Edwards Air Force Base for in-flight testing of EEG recording techniques. Collect data for evaluation of EEG characteristics in relation to the dimensions of vigilance and G-induced changes in consciousness.
