The Human Factors and Ergonomics Society ( HFES ), the world’s largest scientific association for human factors/ergonomics professionals, announced that the society’s journal, Human Factors, achieved its second-highest rating at 3.3 from the annual Journal Citation Reports (JCR) published by Clarivate.

Key Points: 
  • The Human Factors and Ergonomics Society ( HFES ), the world’s largest scientific association for human factors/ergonomics professionals, announced that the society’s journal, Human Factors, achieved its second-highest rating at 3.3 from the annual Journal Citation Reports (JCR) published by Clarivate.
  • First published in 1958, Human Factors is the flagship journal of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society, covering a wide variety of topics, including automation, human systems integration, industrial engineering, robotics and more.
  • Editor-in-Chief of Human Factors, Rob Radwin, said, “It’s encouraging that the journal has maintained its strong level of impact this year, the new method of calculating impact factors notwithstanding.” The publication looks forward to cultivating further innovations, celebrating the accomplishments and implementing forward steps to improving human factors and ergonomics research and practice.

And while pain is an important defense mechanism to protect the body and promote healing, chronic pain can be debilitating.

Key Points: 
  • And while pain is an important defense mechanism to protect the body and promote healing, chronic pain can be debilitating.
  • The research, led by Feinstein Institutes Sangeeta Chavan, PhD , showed in preclinical mice models that HFES inhibits neuroinflammatory mediator release by sensory neurons, called nociceptors, to reduce pain.
  • For your body to feel pain, neurons release molecules that kickstart the bodys immune response causing inflammation and pain.
  • We now have a better understanding as to why high-frequency stimulation helps attenuate inflammation and associated pain.

On October 10-14, the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society (HFES) will convene its 66th International Annual Meeting in Atlanta, GA at the Marriott Marquis Hotel.

Key Points: 
  • On October 10-14, the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society (HFES) will convene its 66th International Annual Meeting in Atlanta, GA at the Marriott Marquis Hotel.
  • Whether we realize it or not, human factors and ergonomics touch almost every facet of the modern human experience, said Christopher R. Reid, president of HFES.
  • It ensures that everything from simple tools to tomorrows technologies are designed and adapted to foster safety, comfort, usability and convenience for human users.
  • The annual meeting will feature more than 130 concurrent sessions, plus interactive posters and demos, Fellows posters, User Experience Day, and a Student Career and Professional Development day.
