We are recruiting participants for research exploring how trust in automation and attentional capacity affect senior driver safety. If you are interested please see the contact information below.

Study Overview: The study is called: Staying Alert in Autopilot: The Effects of Trust in Automation and Attentional Capacity on Situation Awareness in Senior Drivers. In this study, participants will complete short driving scenarios (5-10 mins each) in a simulator while wearing an EEG headset.

We are looking for senior drivers to participate in two sessions of 2 hours each, for a total time commitment of 4 hours. Participants will receive a $20 GoGift gift card at the end of each session ($40 total) and will be provided with free parking.

Eligibility Criteria:

Aged 55 or older
Normal or corrected-to-normal vision and hearing
Valid driver’s license

This research will help us understand how trust in automated driving systems and attentional capacity influence senior drivers’ ability to stay aware of their surroundings, which is crucial for safe driving. The findings will lay the foundation for the development of future automated driving systems, designed to improve senior driver safety.

If you or someone you know may be interested and eligible to participate, please feel free to contact the ACE Lab research Team at acelabresearch@gmail.com or book your time slot using the following online scheduler: .
