Difficulties of monitoring for rare events

这个项目的目的是确定在监控条件下，参与维持对移动显示器的注意力的认知和神经过程。人们在监控罕见事件方面很差：他们往往会错过不常见的目标。这在运输、铁路和空中交通控制的自动化系统中是一个问题。如果发生计算机错误，操作员需要迅速干预。该项目将开发一种工具，用于研究监测和确定预测注意力丧失的大脑活动模式。结果应有助于理论的警惕性和提高性能在现实世界中的监测情况。

This project aims to identify cognitive and neural processes involved in sustaining attention to moving displays under monitoring conditions.People are poor at monitoring for rare events: they tend to miss infrequent targets. This is a problem in automated systems for transport, rail and air traffic control. If a computer error occurs, the operator needs to intervene quickly. This project will develop a tool for studying monitoring and determine patterns of brain activity that predict a lapse of attention. The results should contribute to theories of vigilance and improve performance in real-world monitoring situations.
