Keynote speakers
Frédéric Dehais
Institut Supérieur de l’Aéronautique et de l’Espace (ISAE-SUPAERO)
Topic
What neuroscience can tell us about human performance in aviation?
About Speaker
Frédéric Dehais received a Ph.D. in Cognitive Science from ONERA – Toulouse in 2004 and obtained his HDR (Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches) in 2012. He has been a full professor at ISAE-SUPAERO since 2012 and holds the 20-year AXA Chair in Neuroergonomics—an honor awarded to fewer than 30 researchers worldwide. His research focuses on understanding the neural correlates of human error and developing neuroadaptive technologies to enhance human performance. He leads the Neuroergonomics and Human Factors team (DCAS Department), comprising 25 researchers with interdisciplinary expertise in neuroscience, signal processing, computer science, and human factors. His team combines basic research using fMRI with field experiments in real flight conditions using advanced portable brain imaging technologies. This work has positioned his lab as a key player in flight safety research, recognized with the 2019 Commercial Aviation Safety Laureate by Aviation Week. Prof. Dehais has authored over 200 publications and holds five international patents. He is co-chair of the International Neuroergonomics Conference, co-Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Neuroergonomics, and co-founder of Hinfact, a startup focused on safety-enhancing monitoring technologies.
