Study Summary
Future aviation operations are anticipated to change as advances in technology enable automation of more tasks. Development of new platforms under the Future Vertical Lift program are also anticipated to change the nature of missions as they are being designed to cover further distances. Longer duration flights coupled with greater automated features are expected to shift the role of the aviator, resulting in an increased need for attention maintenance, which creates potential problems related to performance. To offset the likelihood of performance decrements related to the need to sustain attention, we propose examining the use of transcranial electrical current stimulation. In the present study, we will evaluate whether delivery of stimulation prior to or during the task enables sustainment of attention and thereby reduces performance decrements as measured through primary flight tasks and a secondary attentional task. Further, we will evaluate whether stimulation enhances the ability to respond to an unexpected emergency toward the end of the flight.
