Abstract: | Three experiments were conducted to evaluate the performance of a psychophysiologically controlled adaptive automation system. Subjects were asked to perform a compensatory tracking task while their electroencephalogram (EEG) was recorded and an engagement index was derived from the EEG, using the alpha, beta, and theta bandwidths: /( + ) and / . In Experiment I, EEG was recorded from three different sites: frontal, parietal, and temporal. Although tracking performance did not differ as a function of site, the number of task mode allocations was greater under a negative feedback contingency than under a positive feedback contingency. This effect was seen primarily from frontal sites. Experiments II and III evaluated the adaptive automation system, using extended runs under positive and negative feedback with either a slope (Experiment II) or absolute (Experiment III) criterion used to drive the system. Using either criterion, performance was found to be significantly better under negative feedback. Future evaluation and use of psychophysiologically controlled adaptive automation systems are discussed. |
