Who we are?

The Cognitive Ergonomics Group was created by Professor José J. Cañas at the University of Granada at the beginning of the 90s. His objective was to apply the knowledge about Human Factors and Ergonomics to the solution of human factors problems in the industrial, the institutions and the society in general. Being an university research group, our work has always had two aspects. On the one hand, we work on solving the problems that our clients raise and, on the other hand, we do basic research on Human Factors and Ergonomics when current knowledge is not enough to solve those problems.

HUMAN FACTORS IN WORKPLACES DESIGN

Psychological components are now more important than physical ones in the work done by one person.

The technological revolution in industry has meant that human work depends on the perceptual abilities, memory, decision making etc., rather than the manual skills of workers. For this reason, the intervention of cognitive ergonomists is essential to ensure efficiency, effectiveness and safety of workers.
