8. Copyright 2007, TransLumen Technologies, LLC 7 Overview of the Subthreshold Extreme Gradual Change (STEGC) Environment Applying principals similar to those found in gradual change blindness and incorporating interruption management to drive intelligent timing and cueing of mitigation strategies, STEGC is a predictive and adaptive tool component, able to aid the pilot/crews assimilation of secondary or tertiary data. A new paradigm precipitated by technologies that change the rules –Augmented Cognition –Neurophysiologic monitoring –The temporal visual spectrum –Interface technology advancements (hardware and software) –Back to symbology and simplicity in the (inter)face of complexity Decluttering should help operators manage their attention and concentration on the most critical and/or threatening information, taking into account real-time task assessment and prioritization of threats/information as well as information reliability and capabilities of the automation system.
