Eric Greenlee

Eric Greenlee is an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychological Sciences at Texas Tech University, specializing in Human Factors. His research focuses on neuroergonomics, particularly the neurological and physiological impacts of attention-demanding tasks requiring sustained vigilance, such as driving and interacting with automated systems.

Using an applied neuroscience approach, Dr. Greenlee investigates objective metrics like cerebral hemodynamics and cardiac vagal tone to assess task-related stress, workload, and fatigue. His work integrates subjective and performance measures to enhance individual and team performance in real-world scenarios.

His recent publications (2024–2022) emphasize automation reliability, spatial uncertainty in auditory/visual displays, and neurophysiological responses during vigilance tasks. Topics span automated driving, tactile/auditory perception, and supramodal resource depletion. Dr. Greenlee’s lab employs tools like transcranial Doppler sonography for real-time cognitive load analysis.
