Michela Terenzi

Michela TerenziMichela Terenzi received a Ph.D. in Psychology (February 2008) from the University of Rome “La Sapienza”. Her research activity has been primarily addressed to the investigation of human cognitive processes during the interaction with automated systems. In this general framework, the studies she has carried out had two aims: 1) to assess the effect of automation support on mental workload through the analysis of eye movements; 2) to devise a general model for levels of automation (LOA) migrating their definition from qualitative to quantitative.
