Program Description

Program Description

How can we model human task performance? How do our brains combine visual and auditory information? What is the ideal interface for a tired air traffic controller?The Human-Machine Communication (HMC) programme from the University of Groningen provides you with insights into human cognition and teaches you to use this knowledge in applied settings, such as tutoring systems, speech technology and human-computer interaction.Two questions form the basis for this programme:
  • How does human cognition work?
  • How can we use this knowledge in applied settings?
To answer these questions, you have to know how humans perform specific tasks and how this performance limits and affects task performance. How do humans acquire new skills and how do they learn to adapt to a new task? It is important to know in which way information is transferred; the most natural way of human communication is language. But what about machines? Maybe keyboards, choice menus or multi-touch are more suitable.
