Human interaction with complex technical systems is a topical research subject in different frontier sciences. A man becomes an element of control systems and concentrates a significant part of responsible decision during dispatching work.
Brain-computer interfaces (BCI) as peripheral electroencephalographic (EEG) devices become popular in the last decade. As a result brain potentials detection successfully solves application tasks in bionic prosthetics, opens new horizons in gaming industry and so forth. Furthermore, BCI EEG peripheral devices in combining with heart and breathing rate, arterial tension, flicker fusion frequency and other parameters has more development prospects in application sciences. This allows to create research complexes for monitoring neurophysiological, physiological and psychological functional state of operators and use results when performing work that requires increased attention, concentration and qualitative analysis of incoming information. Also, to apply BCI devices as part of an external control system that may be used to dispatching purposes. However, this poses the question of ergonomics for daily use.
Description of the mobile operator position concept [1] and project research objectives related to registration mental parameters presents. Research is interdisciplinary and meant to help project team to research scientific foundations for creation of mobile operator position based on the combination of BCI and augmented reality technologies [2], for automation of the technological process control system for underground mining of mineral deposits. The study helps team psychologists to research correlation of neurophysiology with physiological and psychological aspects of human body and interpret them. For IT and automation assistants – to research real mental control capabilities of complex technical system. For engineers – to create prototype of robotic equipment to increase effectiveness and reduce human riscs [3]. In general, the study aimed at transferring the fundamental methods of noninvasive evaluation brain neural activity in applied research when creating advanced engineering control systems.
