SUMMARY:Using Human-Centered Design to Develop a Neurophysiological Monito
 ring Suite of Technologies
DESCRIPTION:Olivia Fox Cotton, Justin Morgan, Sylvain Bruni, and Lisa Luci
 a (Aptima, Inc)\n\nNeurophysiological monitoring—such as electroencephalog
 raphy (EEG) or functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS)—has long supp
 orted clinical diagnoses and treatment decisions. These technologies also 
 hold promise for enhancing performance assessment and decision-making in h
 igh-stakes environments like aviation and emergency response. However, the
 ir broader adoption is limited by complex hardware, signal processing dema
 nds, and the need for expert interpretation. We present a human-centered d
 esign approach used to develop an integrated neurophysiological monitoring
  suite that enables non-experts—such as military trainers or pilots—to acc
 ess and act on brain data in real-time. The suite includes a wearable fNIR
 S sensor, custom analytics for estimating cognitive and physiological stat
 es, and intuitive visualizations to support real-time decision-making. Des
 igned through iterative testing with operational stakeholders, the system 
 emphasizes wearability, signal quality, usability, and interpretability. W
 e discuss key design challenges, including aligning hardware design with d
 ata integrity and balancing data granularity with cognitive load. In addit
 ion to presenting the resulting system, we will outline the human-centered
  design methodology used to guide its development. By making neurophysiolo
 gical insights accessible to users without specialized training, this work
  demonstrates how thoughtful design can bridge the usability gap and exten
 d the reach of brain-monitoring technologies beyond clinical and research 
 settings.\n\nTrack: System Development\n\nSession Chair: John Paul Plummer
