  Karasinski, J. A., Holder, S., Robinson, S. K., & Marquez, J. J. (2020). NASA Technical Memorandum (NASA/TM-20205004361)

  Identifies the human-automation research needed before crews can work safely with intelligent systems on deep-space missions.

• Utility of Concurrent Bandwidth Feedback in Training Aircraft Flight Tasks

  Karasinski, J. A., & Robinson, S. K. (2019). Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Annual Meeting, 63(1), 1729-1733

  Automated feedback that activates only when errors exceed a set threshold can speed up learning for complex flight tasks without increasing cognitive workload.

• An Augmented Reality/Internet of Things Prototype for Just-in-Time Astronaut Training

  Karasinski, J. A., Joyce, R., Carroll, C., Gale, J., & Hillenius, S. (2017). Virtual, Augmented and Mixed Reality: 9th International Conference, VAMR 2017

  An augmented reality and Internet of Things (IoT) prototype that gives astronauts context-aware training and guidance when they need it, which could reduce pre-flight training.

• Development of Real-Time Performance Metrics for Manually-Guided Spacecraft Operations

  Karasinski, J. A., Robinson, S. K., Duda, K. R., & Prasov, Z. (2016). 2016 IEEE Aerospace Conference

  Real-time performance metrics for manual spacecraft control that allow objective assessment during training and operations without waiting for post-hoc analysis.
