Celebration of Applied Human Factors Research

Date: Friday July 23, 2010 - 8:30am - 4:30pm
Location: MacLeod Auditorium, Medical Sciences Building (MS2158), University of Toronto
Cost: $10 contribution towards refreshments
RSVP: http://hfig.mie.utoronto.ca/celebration-of-applied-human-factors-research (extended until July 19) 

The Human Factors Interest Group at the University of Toronto would like to invite you to attend a Celebration of Applied Human Factors Research, in Honour of Prof. John W. Senders' 90th Birthday. The symposium will bring together some of the most influential members of the Human Factors community, both to remind us of the pioneering work of Prof. Senders and his colleagues in the 1960s and to educate us about present and future concerns of the Human Factors community.
 
The day will be organized into two broad themes: Applied Psychology (AM), and Human Error and Health (PM). The current anticipated lineup of speakers, and their topics, is as follows:

AM
Abigail Sellen - Introduction
Mike Drillings - The Role of HFE in the Development of Systems for the US Army
Neville Moray  (remotely) - Eye Movement Research and Attention
Don Donderi - Working Under Deep Cover: Following JWS into the TTC
Alison Smiley - There is More to Seeing than Visibility
Jerome Elkind - Visual Attention in Piloting and Driving
Shumin Zhai - ShapeWriter:  Influences and Inspiration

PM
Sue Bogner - Human Error and Health
Penny Sanderson - Predicting the Impact of New EHRs and EMRs on the Work of Healthcare Practitioners (TBD)
Don Norman - Human Error: Why Logic is the Wrong Tool and the Topic Too Important to be Left to the Human Factors Community
John Senders - Reflection and Response

To help us cover the cost of refreshments for this event, and to ensure sufficient seating, we are asking everyone who plans to attend to contribute $10.
