Modeling the neurodynamic complexity of submarine navigation teams

Our objective was to apply ideas from complexity theory to derive neurophysiologic models of Submarine Piloting and Navigation showing how teams cognitively organize around changes in the task and how this organization is altered with experience. The cognitive metric highlighted was an electroencephalography (EEG)derived measure of engagement (termed NS_E) which was modeled into a collective R. Stevens ( ) · T. Galloway · P.
