ABSTRACT
Brain-computer interface (BCI) is a revolutionizing human-computer Interaction, which is developing towards the direction of intelligent brain-computer interaction and brain-computer intelligent integration. However, the practical application of BCI is facing great challenges. The maturity of BCI technology has not yet reached the needs of users. The traditional design method of BCI needs to be improved. It is necessary to pay attention to BCI human factors engineering, which plays an important role in narrowing the gap between research and practical application, but it has not attracted enough attention and has not been specifically discussed in depth. Aiming at BCI human factors engineering, this article expounds the design requirements (from users), design ideas, objectives and methods, as well as evaluation indexes of BCI with the human-centred-design. BCI human factors engineering is expected to make BCI system design under different use conditions more in line with human characteristics, abilities and needs, improve the user satisfaction of BCI system, enhance the user experience of BCI system, improve the intelligence of BCI, and make BCI move towards practical application.

ABSTRACT
Este artigo objetiva analisar questões relativas à gestão coletiva da atividade docente no curso de Medicina de uma instituição federal de ensino superior, evidenciadas pela avaliação externa realizada pelo Ministério da Educação (MEC), e seu referencial teórico baseia-se nas abordagens da ergonomia e da psicodinâmica do trabalho. Trata-se de um estudo qualitativo do qual participaram dez docentes, oito homens e duas mulheres, de um total de cento e quarenta e nove existentes no curso de Medicina. O critério que serviu de base à composição desse grupo de pesquisa foi ter participado do processo de avaliação do curso de Medicina. Este estudo cumpriu as exigências éticas pertinentes à investigação que envolve seres humanos e sua estratégia metodológica combinou a realização de entrevistas não diretivas, gravadas sob autorização dos entrevistados, com a análise documental de relatórios de avaliação. Os resultados apontaram um engajamento profissional aquém do desejado em atividades de pesquisa e extensão e uma organização do trabalho que dificulta a consolidação dos coletivos e a manutenção de laços de cooperação entre os docentes, aspectos fundamentais para a qualidade e a produtividade, com saúde e segurança no trabalho...
This article aims to examine issues of collective management of teaching activities in the course of medicine of a federal institution of undergraduation, evidenced by the external evaluation conducted by the Ministry of Education (MEC), and The theoretical contributions were based on ergonomics and psychodynamics of work. It is a qualitative study attended by ten professors, eight men and two women, out of one hundred and forty-nine professors in Medicine. The criterion for the composition of the research group was the participation in the evaluation process of the medical school. This study followed the ethical requirements relevant to research involving human beings, and its methodological strategy combined nondirective interviews, recorded with the permission of the interviewees, with the documentary analysis of evaluation reports. The results pointed to a professional engagement that stays behind others in research and extension activities, and a work organization that hinders the consolidation of collectives and the maintenance of cooperative ties between teachers, key aspects of the issue of quality and productivity, with health and safety at work...

OBJECTIVES: Human factors engineering is a discipline that deals with computer and human systems and processes and provides a methodology for designing and evaluating systems as they interact with human beings. This review article reviews important current and past efforts in human factors engineering in health informatics in the context of the current trends in health informatics. METHODS: The methodology of human factors engineering and usability testing in particular were reviewed in this article. RESULTS: This methodology arises from the field of human factors engineering, which uses principles from cognitive science and applies them to implementations such as a computer-human interface and user-centered design. CONCLUSIONS: Patient safety and best practice of medicine requires a partnership between patients, clinicians and computer systems that serve to improve the quality and safety of patient care. People approach work and problems with their own knowledge base and set of past experiences and their ability to use systems properly and with low error rates are directly related to the usability as well as the utility of computer systems. Unusable systems have been responsible for medical error and patient harm and have even led to the death of patients and increased mortality rates. Electronic Health Record and Computerized Physician Order Entry systems like any medical device should come with a known safety profile that minimizes medical error and harm. This review article reviews important current and past efforts in human factors engineering in health informatics in the context of the current trends in health informatics.

Medical treatment facility(MTF) is the equipment of diagnosis and therapy of patients in medical service.The quality of MTF is directly related to the life safety of people.So it is very important to recognize and discuss the maintainability using overall quality standpoint.This standpoint is set out to satisfy the need of patients,reflect the need ability characteristics of MTF or medical treatment service.To guarantee the quality not only designs and produces quality but also is the very important means to confirm the quality.
