- Summary:
- The objective of this report was to develop observable metrics of IC for automation displays. This objective raises three basic questions: What is complexity? Why can information be too complex for the human brain? Finally, how do we quantify the complexity of visual displays? This paper is organized into three sections to address the above questions. We will first summarize our understanding of information complexity from an analysis of the literature. Then we will demonstrate that information is processed at three distinctive stages in the human brain, and complexity should be evaluated by the functions at each stage. In the last section, we will describe a set of IC metrics that we propose to use for automation displays in ATC.
