Google Tech Talk December 16, 2009 ABSTRACT Presented by Jason H. Wong. Our brains are not as reliable as we would like to think. Human factors is the science of understanding human cognition and designing systems to work within its limitations. A lot of time and effort has gone into understanding how our brains work (and when they don’t). However, we continue to make fundamental design errors that not only go against cognitive science principles but common sense as well. This talk will explore some of the quirkier aspects of our cognition, from visual attention to memory and decision making. There will be copious examples of design gone wrong along with discussions of how to understand how we think and how to avoid making design mistakes in the future. Dr. Jason H. Wong is a Human Factors Scientist with the Naval Undersea Warfare Center (NUWC). He received his Ph.D. in 2009 from George Mason University in Human Factors and Applied Cognition, where he conducted research on visual attention and working memory. He was awarded the Department of Defense SMART Scholarship in 2007. This paved the way for his work at NUWC, where Dr. Wong examines the human-computer interaction aspects of complex systems, develops efficient submariner training methodologies, and creates cognitive models to simulate human performance.

    @targetisfun You are a great troll, i’ll give you that much.

  2. targetisfun says:

    @feuchster well, did you mean it with all your heart? when I got saved I was 7 years old, and I knew I needed Jesus to be my savior.I said, “Lord I know I’m a sinner, and I know you made this world, Although I don’t understand it ALL, I do know that when I die I want to go to Heaven to be with you, and right now Jesus I ask you to be my savior and ask you to forgive my sins, I ask that you be with me for the rest of life. I will live for you now! In Jesus name Amen!

  3. feuchster says:

    @targetisfun I got a reply back from the all mighty pink monkey, prove me wrong.

  4. targetisfun says:

    @feuchster I can’t ….but when I call upon the monkey I don’t get a reply backk…if you call right now on Jesus Christ and say “Jesus I know I’m a sinner”,with ALL your heart you have to mean it, not sarcastically and say” I know that you made the world and came to die because sin entered it ” and don’t get a reply back ..Then PLEASE BY ALL MEANS tell me that a monkey is the one true god…But if you don’t even try, you’ll never know.

  5. feuchster says:

    @targetisfun There is a flying pink omnipotent monkey that makes everything happen, prove me wrong.

  6. targetisfun says:

    @feuchster ok, it’s your loss bud..I’ll be praying for you….just when a whole bunch of people go dissapearing it was the rapture..NOT an alien invasion.

  7. feuchster says:

    @targetisfun Now i know you aren’t being serious lol…

  8. targetisfun says:

    @feuchster No I’m actually being serious…What’s to joke about???..REALLY.. it’s only the number one question of all humanity is, “is there truth”. And yes there is..But SOO many people say that there way is the truth…and I’m here and Jesus is here to say…There is but one way to Heaven..Call upon the name of Jesus and confess your sins(bad things you’ve done), and believe that Jesus came to save this CRAZY world(ask me why idk) cuz we ALL deserve Hell….but get His forgiveness instead!

  9. FreeToBeMEe says:

    Why is the guy so obsessed with the word Asinine?

  10. FreeToBeMEe says:

    The girl who thinks she is a lot is a fucking hypocrite.

  11. Malphias says:

    Vihannes3… and it’s been happening ever since the Bible got pieced together. You don’t think they sat around during World War 2 and said “It’s the raptuuure maaan”. 1930’s depression… Raaaptuuure maaaan…. Cuban missile crisis, Tsunami, earthquakes, floods, hunger, famine… it’s been going on for 5000 years and it’s still not the rapture. Some day it might be, but going around worrying about it makes no sense at all 🙂

  12. feuchster says:

    @targetisfun Hopefully what you’re saying is satire.

  13. vihannes3 says:

    @targetisfun “Practically? ANYTHING could be made up…” “it’s all in the Bible.”
    Need I add anything?

  14. targetisfun says:

    @vihannes3 Very funny… I get what your saying though…Practically ANYTHING could be made up…but actually read Revelation and ezeikiel, and it’s talking about what’s happening RIGHT as we speak. the 7 year peace treaty with the North and South…The rapture in which SOO many people even as christians don’t believe.And first off the Biggest question of all the world, how we got here. And how after the economy crashes(which is soon)The anti-christ will come..it’s all in the Bible.

  15. vihannes3 says:

    @targetisfun NO! THE WORLD WILL BE CONSUMED BY THE ALMIGHTY RICK’S HAIRY ASS! REPENT, OF FACE ETERNAL DAMNATION! I READ A BOOK ABOUT THIS, THEREFORE I AM INDUBITABLY RIGHT!

  16. targetisfun says:

    Hey, just wanted to say, the whole WORLD we be goin down….Jesus is coming SOON…and this world WILL be looking for answers when the economy drops, and money can NO longer be spent.Revelation 13:16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: (the antiChrist)
    Revelation 13:17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

  17. MasterWooten says:

    @GenerationEpic90 Yes this is true. What she really means to say is that she doesn’t care what you think so long as it conforms to her point of view.

  18. MasterWooten says:

    @DNAunion HA HA HA … rattlesnales committing suicide!

  19. MasterWooten says:

    @DNAunion “Fucktard” … I guess is you’re battle cry for “I’m frustrated!” Be you sat “fucktard” everytime you see someone pass you by who either has a significant other or who appears to have more wealth and a happier existence than you (which should be often). How sad.

  20. GenerationEpic90 says:

    It’s kind of strange how she says nobody should care what other people believe…then in the same breath she rants about how they are spreading their bullshit beliefs and propoganda. Hypocritical

  21. TheMortalhuman says:

    @MasterWooten You’ve learned to spell loser! Well done MW.

  22. MasterWooten says:

    and that Africa is falling further behind. You NEVER illustrated how Africa is falling behind the rest of the world as a society. Without showing this, without showing a closing rather than increasing accademic achievement gap between black and white school students in America for example… you fail to refute the argument of scientific racists who are using said measures to make their claims.

    Once again I don’t belief in scientific racism myself, however you have done NOTHING to refute it!

  23. MasterWooten says:

    Cont’d .. used evidence such as IQ scores, skull measurements and other hard data as reference. you simply talked hence you didn’t make the case against scientifc racism.

    Your argument also failed because you mistakenly stated that scientific racists used their theories against Asians. This is NOT true. They have ALWAYS claimed Asians to be smarter and more restrained than Caucasians who were so inturn more so than Africans. Their argument was that Aisa will as it is surpassing Europe …

  24. MasterWooten says:

    Hannabal … you chickenshit! You bloacked me.

    Well I guess I should respond here. 1) The links about scientif racism I sent you do NOT reflect my views on the subject rather they stand as my proof that many atheist scientists are as if not more racist than the general public. So for you tostate that those are my beliefs makes you out to be less than truthful.

    Secondly you go on to try to refute those characters by merely talking and making no refernce to any evidence. They used ..

  25. MasterWooten says:

    @TheMortalhuman DNAunion hasn’t responded to you …HA HA HA HA …loser!

  26. TheTruthseeker1231 says:

    What a joke! Derren Brown is a showman who fakes most of what he does! He is a magican who pretends to be using NLP – mindcontrol, but is basically just a showman. So this PHD Genuis uses this as an example! You have got to be kidding me! How much tax payer dollars do we spend on this guys salary!

    BS, the woman wasnt deceived by the painting con, you could see her thinking, “Oh well, I gave directions to whoever!” She just wasnt given chance to voice it or it’d ruin the show.

  34. missMophead16 says:

    :O how long is this video?

  35. koollach101 says:

    wat a boring 53 minusts,,,,

    Meet Asian women #lushfmlk.info#

  37. kfupm83 says:

    the experiment is not an evidence that people didn’t notice the changr. You need to asking them after :did they noticed? and if yes, why they did not talk about it?

  38. TwinFlameify says:

    @michalchik thats why you take a quick psychadelic mix to empty the cup my friend…

  39. sparklesparkling says:

    though im jus a kid… argh…. do my thoughts deceive me ? arh…tis question over arguement unnecessary… why ask tis way ? tis not right logic question, cause u are asking, as though ur thoughts are by itself independent ? surely everyone knows all thoughts via initiation or variation due to facts and conditions etc.

  40. asorlonnn says:

    If you think,”Alcohol is Good”
    or something Truly bad, is Good than you are Deceiving yourself.
    For example the typical teenager says,”you can’t get addicted to smoking weed”
    Because we all know, that it is possible you can. and that’s why its looked down upon.

  41. asorlonnn says:

    I ask this myself.

  42. vadimtres says:

    I expected something else to be in the presentation. Bad naming.

  43. Buckiller says:

    watch the video feed from the left, not the big one from right.

  44. LAWESTBY says:

    then you’ll find yourself having quite an annoying slight headache after a while . . . . awareness is not a focus that you create. it’s a focus you allow and really it’s not as important as you think.

  45. FirebreathXIII says:

    Very interesting, Doctor!
    Somehow, this adds very well to a few of my classes about human/machine interactions, and given me a new insight on how the brain works, suddenly making a few concepts that much more clear.

    Great speech!! 🙂

  46. michalchik says:

    I agree that a computer may not be a correct analogy, but I tend to think that if attention was an inexhaustible resource evolution would have produced a mind that was perpetually alert to everything. It would have definite survival value.

    I do think that experimental work will show interesting things about how we can leverage attention. I have little doubt that well developed meditative traditions have insights, and my intuitions about attention may be wrong.

  47. prankmypants says:

    i see what you are getting at but without understanding the very limits of what is humanly possible a computer is a crude and possibly flawed analogy.

    i think there is much research and testing to be done in this area…….

  48. michalchik says:

    What happens when you load more and more programs in computer?

  49. ase010 says:

    Take some organic psychedelic plants/mushrooms then you will know and find out how much you are deceived and cheating yourself! Good luck!

  50. M1i2K3E4 says:

    Hmm… more of our visual cognition or perception rather than purely our thoughts deceiving us.. not sure.
