07. General Discussion
There is no single book that covers all the topics in the Human Controller, The class is teached based on lectures, papers, and findings from the latest research. Still, there is a book that cover parts of the class.
Below, the book, papers and additional background papers can be found.
Book
Control Theory for Humans: Quantitative Approaches To Modeling Performance, Richard J. Jagacinski and John M. Flach, Taylor & Francis 2003, ISBN: 978-08-058-2293-9.
Papers
Besides the book multiple papers are used in the course. They can be found below.
