Smart sensing for aeronautical applications is a multidisciplinary process that involves the
development of various sensor elements and advancements in the nanomaterials field. The …

This paper systematically reviews 20 years of publications (N= 54) on aviation and
neurophysiology. The main goal is to provide an account of neurophysiological changes …

Background Declines in gait parameters are common with aging and more pronounced in
tasks with increased executive demand. However, the neural correlates of age-related gait …

Positron emission tomography (PET) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI)
studies have shown that healthy aging is associated with functional brain deterioration that …

Monitoring pilots' cognitive states becomes increasingly important in aviation. Physiological
measurement can detect increased mental workload (MWL) even before performance …

Background Pilots must process multiple streams of information simultaneously. Mental
workload is one of the main issues in man–machine interactive mode when dealing with …

To address elevated risk for older pilots, we examined the efficacy of a virtual reality (VR)
cognitive health screening tool (integrated into simulated flight scenarios) in identifying …

The ability to identify reliable and sensitive physiological signatures of psychological
dimensions is key to developing intelligent adaptive systems that may in turn help to mitigate …

Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is a non-invasive optical imaging technique
that employs near-infrared light to measure cortical brain oxygenation. The use of fNIRS has …

Twelve healthy male students were recruited to investigate the physiological response to
different noise exposure and mental workload (MW) conditions, while performing multi …
