Carryl Baldwin is the Carl and Rozina Cassat Distinguished Professor of Aging & Regional Institute on Aging and Director of the Wichita Auditory Research Group (WARG) at Wichita State University's Fairmount College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. Her work spans neuroergonomics, aging research, auditory cognition, and human-vehicle interface design, with funding from NHTSA, NIH, NASA, and private industry partners.
- Education: PhD in Human Factors Psychology (1997), MA in Human Factors Psychology (1994), BA in Psychology/Asian Studies (1987)
Dr. Baldwin's research focuses on human interaction with automation, particularly in transportation contexts. She investigates driver attention, mind wandering, cognitive workload, and multimodal alarm systems using physiological metrics like EEG. Her lab explores aging-related cognitive changes and develops technologies to enhance safety and performance in semi-autonomous systems.
The 15 most recent publications reveal trends in neuroergonomics, aging populations, and automated vehicle safety. Key themes include attention management in automation, auditory alarm optimization, and sustainability applications of human factors, with methodologies spanning EEG analysis, eye-tracking, and multimodal interface evaluation.
Dr. Baldwin's lab has secured external funding from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, NIH-NIA, NASA centers, and defense contractors like Northrop Grumman. Current research includes driver vigilance in Level 2/3 vehicles, pandemic-related social isolation in older adults, and FAA-funded training technology evaluation.
