Her research involves the study of cognitive health and\u00a0<span class=\"gmail_default\">risk for older pilots and drivers<\/span>. She uses full-scale and virtual reality simulators to collect\u00a0<span class=\"gmail_default\">operator\u00a0<\/span>performance data. She has developed an online method for conducting research on pilot cognitive health. Her research on predicting\u00a0<span class=\"gmail_default\">driver and pilot\u00a0<\/span>risk includes developing statistical models and artificial intelligence approaches that include a variety of individual and system factors.\u00a0 A key goal of her work is to develop a virtual reality cognitive health screening tool for pilots using domain-specific cognitive measures such as pilot situation awareness and prospective memory.<span class=\"gmail_default\">\u00a0<\/span>In addition to research on<span class=\"gmail_default\">\u00a0<\/span>cognitive health, Dr. Van Benthem has developed a suite of research methods that capture biometric measures, such as electroencephalography (EEG) and heart rate variability, to investigate how mental workload can be evaluated on a moment-by-moment basis using brain-computer interfaces.\u00a0 The findings from the biometric studies will be used to inform strategies to reduce\u00a0<span class=\"gmail_default\">operator\u00a0<\/span>risk in non-optimal workload situations.\u00a0 Dr. Van Benthem collaborates with experts in artificial intelligence (autonomous vehicle research) and brain-computer interfaces (National Research Council of Canada) for the purpose of optimizing human performance in complex cognitive behaviours.<span class=\"gmail_default\">\u00a0<\/span>Dr. Van Benthem\u2019s background includes work in older driver safety from a researcher, policy and standards, and occupational therapy viewpoint.\u00a0 She completed a Ph.D. in Cognitive Science from 杏吧原创 University and a Masters of Health Studies degree<span class=\"gmail_default\">\u00a0from Athabasca University and a degree in Occupational Therapy from Queen&#8217;s University (Kingston, ON)<\/span>.\u00a0 She also enjoys teaching at the Department of Cognitive Science at 杏吧原创 University.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","meta":{"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"people-type":[36],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.2 -
