Abstract
The aim of the study is to develop a proof of concept experiment dedicated to
the monitorization and augmentation of neuro-visual performances in airport security
screening personnel. The main specific parameters of the visual tasks involved are
visual stereotypy, detection of complex visual patterns, visual-spatial perspective, low-
frequency anomaly detection, limited time exposure and psychological pressure. The
final result of the research is the development and validation of a neuro-augmentation
program.
The rapid development of this branch in the United States (military and civilian
spin-offs), the previous interest of some NATO states and similar Romanian civilian
initiatives determined us to propose the foundation of a Human Performance
Optimization (or Enhancement) Centre for National Security Personnel. We consider
that are at least three main areas of research and development – physical fitness, neuro-
augmentation and human-computer interaction.
Keywords: airport pre-flight security screening personnel, visual task, neuro-visual
performances, neuro-augmentation program, low-frequency anomaly detection.
