Chair roles: comfort and ease of use study of ergonomics provides us with parameters with which we guide design. Role: effective/improved performance - in time we see improved performance (ex. improved performance of hearing aid results in some products becoming obsolete) Role: safety cars survival of vehicle accidents, baby seats. Role: combine man and machine machine augmentation of the human body, prosthetics (some that integrate into the nervous system) Sensory transduction how human brain alters units eye- photons to electrical signals ear- changes in air pressure to electrical signals olfactory- chemicals. Cognition decision making, problem solving, knowledge/memory resolve long term information with oncoming information, allocation of processing resources. Cognitive skills critical in sport/ human factors in sport: anticipation, attention, focus and concentration, memory, pattern recognition, problem solving, decision making.
