Brief Bio
Bethany Bracken is a Principal Scientist at Charles River Analytics. At Charles River, she currently works on projects using neurophysiological and physiological sensing methods to assess human states such as stress, focused attention, and cognitive workload and to predict upcoming performance deficits to allow time to enact augmentation strategies to optimize that performance. Dr. Bracken has a B.S. in Psychology from Clarion University of Pennsylvania, and a Ph.D. in Neuroscience from Brandeis University. Before joining Charles River Analytics, Dr. Bracken completed a postdoctoral fellowship, quickly followed with a promotion to the faculty level, in the Department of Psychiatry at McLean Hospital and Harvard Medical School.

SCOPE
Over the past several years, the fast-paced technological advances in wearable and off-body sensors combined with new machine learning and deep learning algorithms development, quantifying many aspects of human state and performance has become possible, not just in very controlled laboratory conditions, but also during typical behaviors in real-world environments. However many challenges remain, including (but not limited to) developing techniques capable of accurately assessing individuals rather than simply finding statistical differences in data pooled across many participants, dealing with the large amount of noise inherent in real world data, and working with sensors of varying accuracy and accessibility. This session will discuss some of the victories and remaining challenges in real world assessment of humans.
