Development of new technologies to protect against flash blindness and retinal damage from lasers and other optical hazards requires an understanding of how material solutions for protecting the eyes interact with vision and human performance. These filters must block enough light to protect the eyes yet pass enough for aircrew members to perform their mission. This is particularly challenging at night when there is less ambient light, flash blindness is easier to induce, and operations may require disciplined display illumination levels to protect operations. Over the years, the US Air Force has developed a number of Laser Eye Protection (LEP) devices and conducted many laboratory, ground, and flight tests to certify LEP safe for use in cockpits. Although many LEP have been fielded, aircrew often report problems with color and visibility resulting in low acceptance and use of LEP, even when the risk of laser exposure is high. Experimentation is needed to develop models of how visual glare and protective filters effect vision, cognition, attention and human performance. Desired candidates have demonstrated laboratory experience in vision science, cognition, attention, human factors and/or human performance modeling. Selected applicants should expect to work with USAF staff, collaborating university faculty, and summer students at the graduate and undergraduate level. Summer projects will develop and integrate models of vision, cognition, attention or human performance for predicting the effects of filters on visual dazzle and human performance.
