Transactions on Human Machine Systems

Scope

The scope of the IEEE Transactions on Human-Machine Systems includes the field of human-machine systems. It covers human systems and human organizational interactions including cognitive ergonomics, system test and evaluation, and human information processing concerns in systems and organizations.

IEEE Transactions on Human-Machine Systems was launched on January 1, 2013 to replace the human-machine systems sections of IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man and Cybernetics.

SLYKLatent: A Learning Framework for Gaze Estimation Using Deep Facial Feature Learning
In this research, we present self-learn your key latent (SLYKLatent), a novel approach for enhancing gaze estimation by addressing appearance instability challenges in datasets due to aleatoric uncertainties, covariant shifts, and test domain generalization. SLYKLatent utilizes self-supervised learning for initial training with facial expression datasets, followed by refinement with a...

Imagined Speech–EEG Detection Using Multivariate Swarm Sparse Decomposition-Based Joint Time–Frequency Analysis for Intuitive BCI
In brain–computer interface (BCI) applications, imagined speech (IMS) decoding based on electroencephalogram (EEG) has established a new neuro-paradigm that offers an intuitive communication tool for physically impaired patients. However, existing IMS–EEG-based BCI systems have introduced difficulties in feasible deployment due to nonstationary EEG signals, suboptimal feature extraction, and limited multiclass...

Coordinated Adaptive Impedance Control of Redundantly Actuated Parallel Manipulators
Redundantly actuated parallel mechanisms (RAPMs) have been widely adopted in advanced robotic systems and precision machine tools. It has been demonstrated that redundant actuation can improve the performance of mechatronic systems but introduce challenges with respect to control. One main difficulty is in establishing an accurate dynamic model of the...

Aided Decision Processes in Dynamic Events: Measuring Decision Support Systems' Influence and Human Responsibility
Decision support systems (DSSs) increasingly assist human users who should consider their output and combine it with independently available information when making a decision. Some decision-making events are dynamic, requiring a series of decisions in interdependent stages. In them, users may not use DSS advice optimally, possibly compromising task performance...

Visual Imagery-Based Brain-Computer Interaction Paradigms and Neural Encoding and Decoding
Imagination is a significant mental activity of human beings that can serve as a brain-computer interaction (BCI) paradigm, and visual imagery (VI) has become a relatively new BCI paradigm. VI is the ability to form visual representations in short-term memory without retinal input, offering users advantages like safety and rich...
