MASTR-E is a multi-Army institute project focused on identifying the human performance x-factors that reliably account for sustained dismounted soldier and squad lethality. Part of this project is analyzing salivary samples for key metabolites, as well as performing untargeted metabolomics for additional metabolites of interest.
With the continued occurrence of unidentified physiological episodes in tactical aviation, scientists and engineers from government and private industry have considered numerous approaches to monitor life support system performance and operator status in-flight. This presentation will cover lessons learned from some of those efforts.
QUASAR and the Florida Institute for Human and Machine Cognition (IHMC) are collaborating to develop a nonintrusive, multi-modal suite of wearable physiological sensors designed for easy and reliable detection of Acute Cognitive Strain (ACS) in military and non-military environments.
Stress greatly affects human performance and health while the nervous system responds by releasing stress hormones. The cortisol concentrations in apocrine and eccrine sweat were quantitatively analyzed to evaluate stress level along with the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10) test, lifestyle, demographic, and physiological information.
