Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

This chapter considers how neuroergonomics-the study of the brain and behavior at work in healthy and impaired states-is relevant to assessments and interventions in patient safety at the levels of individuals and health care systems. It reviews potential areas for neuroergonomic interventions at the level of individuals and systems, and cultural and legal issues that affect the ability to intervene.
