Academic Lecture: Neural Ergonomics Assists Human Factors Research for Single-Pilot Operations

Neural Ergonomics Assists Human Factors Research for Single-Pilot Operations

Research Assistant Professor Li Qinbiao

December 3, 2025 (Wednesday) 10:00

With the development of avionics systems and the real-world pressure of pilot shortages, the concept of single-pilot operations has emerged and is expected to replace the dual-pilot mode in future civil aviation, driving industry transformation. However, issues related to human factors such as workload, situation awareness, and decision-making become more prominent in this mode, yet current research has paid insufficient attention to these challenges. This seminar, based on neuroergonomics methods, focuses on the pilots themselves to provide insights into single-pilot operations.
