Using Time Perception to Measure Fitness for Duty.
Assessing fitness for duty (FFD) typically requires expensive equipment and large time windows. Here we capitalize on basic principles of human time perception to build a portable software package that can quickly and efficiently test for excessive fatigue or traumatic brain injury. Time perception involves a collaboration of many brain areas, and we hypothesize that generalized damage to the brain can be rapidly assessed by subtle disorders in simple timing tasks. We aim to produce an inexpensive, portable device for rapid detection of fatigue or brain injury both in the clinic and on the field.
