Stephen Mitroff and Dwight Kravitz. The project will be funded through a cooperative agreement with the US Army Research Laboratory, which means the GWU team will work hand-in-hand with Army collaborators. The research focus is on using big data to understand the intricacies of human variability and how performance changes over short and long time frames. The work will center around a dataset of ~4 billion trials of visual search performance collected from ~15 million individuals. The project aims to inform basic science questions about underlying mechanisms of human performance in complex environments and its adaptation in relation to experience, while also informing translational questions with real-world applications.
