| Publisher Description: Vigilance is a central nervous system process which can refer to both a psychological state of the organism as well as to the efficiency of operational performance. Vigilance is involved in sustaining attention and varying wakefulness. It is influenced by personality features, drugs, environmental conditions and endogenous biological factors. These interdisciplinary proceedings deal with the area of vigilance in the fields of theory and measuring methods, transport operations, monotonous situations, chronobiology and regulative mechanisms. |
