HRL to Make SENSE of Analyst Neuro-Ergonomics

SENSE will assess the effectiveness of AI tools designed to aid analysts of geospatial intelligence satellite images.

HRL Laboratories, LLC, has been selected by the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency to proceed with Sensemaking Effectiveness using Neurocognitive Signatures of Efficiency (SENSE), a system capable of assessing efficacy of new AI-enabled assistance tools by measuring neurophysiological indicators in the GEOINT analysts using them. Such assessments will help engineers find a proper balance between analyst fatigue and analysis improvement offered by human-machine teaming.
