Complex Skill Learning And Atc: Examining Stress Response And Distress Mitigation With Eeg And Ecg, Sophia J. Fischer, James C. Lue, Dana Mahmoud, Joshua Rice, Piper Winsett, Eric Anthony Day, Michael J. Wenger, Dingjing Shi, Julia Beckel, Jamie Barrett, Tammy Ho

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2025

Air Traffic Control (ATC) trainees at the FAA Academy and developmentalcontrollers in the field often face dynamic and unexpected events in training,which may impact safe and effective human performance if certain vulnerabilitiesare not properly managed or mitigated. We integrate theory on self-regulatedworkplace training with a cognitive neuroscience perspective on attention touniquely examine the effects of surprise and stress on performance. Our near-termgoal is to demonstrate the viability of using physiological measures to predictperformance changes in a laboratory study of young adults learning a complexvideogame. We use a novel, event-marked and person-centric longitudinalapproach to the analysis of physiological variables to distinguish …

Leveraging System Definition For Human Factors Integration In The Uam Ecosystem; Cockpit Display For Autonomous Flight, Chang-Geun Oh

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2025

As UAM moves toward autonomy, human operators will remain essential—especially ininterpreting complex variables or managing system limitations. Cockpit displays act as a bridgebetween the pilot and multiple UAM ecosystem components, including navigation, traffic,weather, and diagnostics systems. This paper argues that defining each component’s inputs,outputs, services, and requests is a prerequisite for effective human-machine interface (HMI)design, particularly as information is often pre-processed before reaching the pilot. The initialgeneration of UAM systems is likely to adopt manual flight controls due to regulatoryconservatism, certification readiness, and the need for public trust. However, as full autonomybecomes viable, cockpit interfaces must evolve to support remote …

Organizational Safety From The Work Floor Perspective, Erik-Jan A. M. Huijbrechts, M. M. Van Passen

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2025

Looking at organizational safety from the work floor perspective, with an operational mindset, may identify different causes for deficiencies in organizational safety that may not easily be addressed by authorities. Even though accident rates in aviation continue to slowly decline (ICAO safety reports), certain practices can be observed from a work floor perspective that might reverse this trend. Management style in a company may suppresssafety related signals from the work floor. Formal feedback processes may not be effective for all safety related issues. To clarify the threat, we present a model that identifies three components of safety. From case studies …

Caught At The Gate: Human Factors Issues In Aircraft Maintenance Operations Have Changed In The Last 30 Years, Betsy Lehman, Kathryn Maki, Tauseef Mamun, Elizabeth S. Veinott

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2025

Airline maintenance reports from NASA’s Aviation Safety ReportingSystem (ASRS) have been used to identify human factors issues (c.f.,Geibel et al., 2008; Hobbs & Kanki, 2008; Veinott & Kanki, 1995).However, each of these studies focused on different aspects of aircraftmaintenance operations. In the current study, we compared 333 ASRSmaintenance incident reports (Part 121) from 2010-2020 using the samecoding scheme as Veinott and Kanki (1995). Each report was coded for thetype of error (e.g., wrong part, procedural error, non-procedural error),contributing factor (individual, team, procedure, or tools), and airlineoperational impact (e.g., delay at gate, air return, or flown to destination) toexamine if the …

Investigating The Influence Of Factors On The Flight Training Performance Of Ab-Initio Pilots, Ismail Gevrek, Mebrure Itir Gevrek

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2025

Fatigue is a critical issue in aviation, particularly for ab-initio pilots undergoingmilitary flight training. This study investigates the impact of mental fatigue,training scheduling, environmental stressors, and biological needs on theperformance of 104 military ab-initio pilots. Using a comprehensive survey andadvanced statistical analyses, significant negative correlations were identifiedbetween performance and mental fatigue (r=−0.65, p<0.01) training scheduling(r=−0.60, p<0.01), environmental stressors (r=−0.52, p<0.01), and biologicalneeds (r=−0.48, p<0.05). The findings highlight the detrimental effects ofcumulative fatigue and stress on ab-initio pilot performance. Practicalimplications include the need for optimized training schedules, improved cockpitenvironments, and interventions targeting mental and physical resilience. Thisstudy underscores the importance of proactive fatigue management strategies toenhance safety and efficiency in military flight training.

Review Of Fatigue Micro-Mitigations For Application In Air Traffic Control: Benefits, Challenges, And Feasibility, John Kang, Ruth E. Propper, Michael Sawyer

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2025

Air traffic controllers (ATCs) are one of the primary drivers of safe and resilient operations in the National Airspace System. The FAA has implemented manylarge-scale fatigue mitigation strategies (e.g., scheduling policies, break time requirements, and time-on-position limits) to combat fatigue. Given the performance benefits related to managing fatigue, ATCs may also benefit from simple, practical fatigue interventions and that could improve job performance.This review targets ‘micro-mitigations,’ which we define as mitigations that maybe unobtrusive, can be quickly implemented, have a rapid impact, and are easy to engage. We explore the possible utility of five micro-mitigations to help minimize fatigue/improve alertness: …

Real-Time Synchronization Of Flight Simulation And Physiological Data Using Lab Streaming Layer: A Custom X-Plane Approach, Luis Jose Alarcon-Aneiva, Nicoletta Fala

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2025

Poor synchronization of physiological and flight data hinders human factors research by obscuring cause-effect relationships and requiring laborious manual alignment. We developed a custom X-Plane plugin which uses Lab Streaming Layer (LSL) for real-time synchronization to integrate flight data with simultaneously streamed ECG and eye-tracking signals. Our setup simplifies datacollection and ensures precise synchronization without manual intervention,reducing error and preprocessing time. This paper describes the system configuration, plugin, and advantages over conventional methods. Our approachenables accurate correlation between physiological responses and in-flight events,offering deeper insights into pilot performance and workload, resulting in apractical, reproducible method of simplifying multimodal data collection …

Two Tools For Analyzing Coordination Problems To Design For Distributed Work: A Case Study In Urban Air Mobility, Abhinay Paladugu, Abigail Post, Martijn Ijtsma

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2025

The design of a distributed work system can be framed as a set of dynamic coordination problems, where functions need to be developed for actors to synchronize their activities over time. For example, in envisioned Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) operations,coordination problems arise when operators need to synchronize responses with thebehavior of an autonomous aircraft that has lost its communication link. We present ananalysis of the dynamics of this specific coordination problem, showing how uncertaintyin the behavior of autonomous capabilities and the dynamic nature of UAS operationscan create challenges in synchronization. We combine the modeling and simulation framework Work Models that …

Against The Sale Of Homeopathy (And Other Ineffective Medicines), Jeffrey Moriarty

Philosophy Faculty Publications

Consumers spend billions of dollars per year on homeopathic products. But there is powerful evidence that these products don’t work, i.e., they are not medically effective. Should homeopathic products be for sale? I give reason for thinking that the answer is ‘no.’ It has been suggested that the sale of homeopathic products involves deception. This might be so in some cases, but the problem is simpler: it is that these products don’t do what people buy them to do. More precisely, homeopathic products don’t meet the “desire-satisfaction condition,” according to which products for sale in markets should satisfy the desires …

Gig Economy And Income Inequality, Utsah Thakur

Student Research

The dramatic expansion of the gig economy in the United States has led to a transition from traditional labor markets to a more flexible structure creating opportunities for alternate income sources. While the gig economy provides more work opportunities for low-skilled workers, there are also concerns about the role that it may play in contributing to income inequality. This research explores the spatio-temporal relationship between the participation of workers in the gig economy and income inequality. The study extracts individual-level data from the IPUMS dataset to compute consistent state-specific measures of participation in the gig economy and income inequality over …

Comparing Unidirectional, Bidirectional, And Word2vec Models For Discovering Vulnerabilities In Compiled Lifted Code, Gary Mccully, John Hastings, Shengjie Xu, Adam Fortier

Research & Publications

Ransomware and other forms of malware cause significant financial and operational damage to organizations by exploiting long-standing and often difficult-to-detect software vulnerabilities. To detect vulnerabilities such as buffer overflows in compiled code, this research investigates the application of unidirectional transformer-based embeddings, specifically GPT-2. Using a dataset of LLVM functions, we trained a GPT-2 model to generate embeddings, which were subsequently used to build LSTM neural networks to differentiate between vulnerable and non-vulnerable code. Our study reveals that embeddings from the GPT-2 model significantly outperform those from bidirectional models of BERT and RoBERTa, achieving an accuracy of 92.5\% and an F1-score …

100th Henry M. Campbell Moot Court Competition: Final Round, University Of Michigan Law School

Event Materials

Nearly a century has passed since Henry Munroe Campbell’s law partners met with the dean of the University of Michigan Law School to establish a memorial for their friend and colleague. As a result, the Law School’s nascent “case club competition” was named in Mr. Campbell’s honor, a fitting way to combine his love for Michigan Law, oral advocacy, and the training of young lawyers.

I do not know what Mr. Campbell’s law partners envisioned when they met with the dean. They couldn’t have envisioned this beautiful room we are in today for the Final Round—Hutchins Hall didn’t even exist …

Utilizing Epic To Improve Efficiency Of Pre-Anesthesia Evaluations For Surgical Patients, Karol Harshaw-Ellis¹,, Sarah B. Budrovic, Christopher Henriques, Olga Suarez-Winowiski

VCU Health Nursing

Background: Preoperative anesthesia evaluations of elective procedures are important to anesthesia care and imperative to prevent postoperative complications and unnecessary surgical cancellations¹. Triaging cases are complex, requiring clinical skills to facilitate the process. Triaging is cumbersome and, in most organizations, done manually. In 2021, our healthcare institution transitioned to EPIC² and formed a team of anesthesiologists, surgeons, informaticists, and EPIC analysts to automate the triage process which was nonexistent.

Purpose: Utilizing EPIC logic and a surgical risk classification (SRC) (Table 1) developed by the team cases are triaged as high, medium, or low. The SRC is based on blood loss, …
