  2. 1. Flight Simulator Training : Assessing the Potential

    Author : Staffan Magnusson Nählinder; Kjell Ohlsson; Nils Dahlbäck; Erland Svensson; Ken R. Boff; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Work sciences and ergonomics; Arbetsvetenskap och ergonomi;

    Abstract : Mental workload is an important concept and has been proven to be a precursor to situation awareness and operative performance. This thesis describes methods to measure mental workload through self-ratings and psychophysiological measurements. READ MORE

  4. 2. Validity and usability of a virtual reality intraocular surgical simulator

    Author : Madeleine Selvander; Oftalmologi (Malmö); []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; simulator; cataract surgery; learning; training; Eyesi;

    Abstract : Cataract surgery is one of the most common surgical procedures in Sweden and around 90 000 operations are made each year. An aging population with increased demands on quality of life and good visual acuity, has led to an increased rate of surgery and more surgeons needs to be trained. READ MORE
