How Neuroscience Can Help Us Understand De-Escalation: From First-Responders to First-Line Managers
Published on October 13, 2020
De-escalation conjures images of law enforcement in life-threatening crises. The reality is, we all engage in a form of de-escalation any time we attempt to resolve conflict. When we argue with our partner, disagree with a friend, or feel the tension around us in a conference room, there are opportunities for escalation. Given the … Continued

3 Ways to Improve Police De-Escalation Training – A Science-Guided Approach
Published on September 25, 2020
An imbalance exists in police training: the actual daily demands of law enforcement officers are poorly reflected in the way in which they are trained. This begins in academy settings where trainees—recruited from the military—are honing firearm proficiency and force-option skills, training for the most combative situations to prepare for the worst. This military … Continued
Choosing a Driver Simulation Platform that Minimizes Simulation Sickness
Published on September 23, 2020
Driver simulation is a remarkably powerful research tool. It allows us to safely and affordably explore how people handle potentially deadly situations. We can create scenarios (e.g., poor visibility, impaired driving, malfunctioning ADAS systems) that would be logistically impossible (as well as unethical) to ask study participants to endure in real life. So it’s … Continued

Bus Driver Training that Increases Awareness, Decreases Accidents
Published on September 7, 2020
Bus during training programs that rely on traditional closed-course driving can struggle to truly test operators’ situational and hazard awareness. Fortunately, these are areas where “permission to fail” simulation training is known to shine. Simulation Supported Bus Driver Training in Champaign-Urbana Champaign-Urbana Mass Transit District (MTD) in Illinois has been using FAAC bus … Continued
