The capabilities enabled by cognitive readiness underlie successful human performance in any complex environment. Cognitive readiness can be viewed as encompassing individuals’ inherent traits, their training and experience, and their current dynamic state. Because of this, collaboration across the physiological and cognitive research communities is critical. Incorporating the latest advances in cognitive readiness research that are documented in this three-part special issue into the design, development, deployment, selection, and training of human-machine systems will enable the operational community to enhance human performance and effectiveness.
