Engineering psychology

The term engineering psychology refers to the investigation of psychological processes related to using technical products. It is sometimes used interchangeably with human-machine ans also human-computer interaction. Within this field, there is a long tradition of using psychophysiological methods not only in basic but also in applied research, for quantifying stress-strain processes, changes of attention, and emotional states arising from an interaction with technical equipment.

During their time at the University of Wuppertal, Professor Boucsein and his team performed a broad scope of scientific investigations in various fields of engineering psychology that resulted in numerous publications. Following this tradition, psyrecon conducts applied psychophysiological research in car driving, piloting, ergonomics / usability and stress-strain processes. By means of scientifically based applied research, psyrecon contributes to innovation processes in engineering psychology, as specified in the menu items.
