SynopsisHuman Performance Optimization: The Science and Ethics of Enhancing Human Capabilities explores current and emerging strategies for enhancing individual and team performance, especially in high-stakes, stressful settings such as the military, law enforcement, firefighting, or competitive corporate settings. Taking a cognitive neuroscience perspective, scientifically grounded approaches to optimizing human performance are explored in depth., The content of Human Performance Optimization is unique in terms of the focus, breadth, and scope of the individual chapter contributions. Moreover, this book was developed in response to a pressing need, first directed by the Chief of Staff of the Army, to examine current and future developments in behavioral, cognitive, and social neuroscience that may allow organizations to enhance individual worker and team performance. This volume captures a wide range of approaches, both with an eye to describing state of the art knowledge, and projecting what may become applicable in the near future.The variety of social, technological, and scientific issues make this book indispensable in our time. Organizations of all sorts, but especially those who operate in "in extremis" or high-stakes settings, are seeking to improve the performance of their workers. The chapters' breadth and accessibility will allow strategic leaders of organizations to evaluate breaking news in HPO, and will also serve as an up-to-date review of the field for scientists involved in human performance research., The content of Human Performance Optimization is unique in terms of the focus, breadth, and scope of the individual chapter contributions.
