At this meeting Professor Jan Ober will present a very interesting and important lecture entitled: “Product vision already at the stage of designing the scientific research”
Subtitle: “Bioengineering systems with embedded knowledge”
Abstract:
When planning any, even basic scientific research, one should take into account the emerging product, in which all the accumulated physiological knowledge, as well the clinical requirements must be built-in, i.e., embedded in such a way that users are aware of.
Professor Jan Ober will focus on conveying this issue to the audience, especially to young listeners, discussing the development of methods, diagnostic experiments, and measuring instruments with the embedded knowledge on the example of the analysis of eye movement signals. Professor will also discuss the problem of producing prototypes of devices necessary to conduct pilot studies up to the commercially available products.
Professor Ober CV
Professor Dr. Hab. Jan Ober is now emeritus professor at the Institute of Biocybernetics and Biomedical Engineering, Polish Academy of Sciences.
He finished studies in 1969 at the Leningrad (St. Petersburg) Institute of Precision Mechanics and Optics. He was awarded the Doctor degree of technical sciences in 1972 at Częstochowa University of Technology, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering. He obtained habilitation in 1977 at the Department of Mechanics, Aviation, and Energy Engineering at Warsaw University of Technology.
In 1980, Professor Jan Ober established an Independent Laboratory of Rehabilitation Engineering and Biomechanics of the Institute of Biocybernetics and Biomedical Engineering of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Poznań, Poland. Throughout the period of the laboratory activity, he was acting as the Head.
Professor Jan Ober's research focuses on oculomotor functions, especially of the eyes, in the application to the diagnosis of neurological diseases, monitoring the physiological aging of the central nervous system and the risk of brain contusion in contact sports (e.g. in the case of boxing), as well as on difficulties in acquiring reading skills among children (dyslexia). The research includes also the attention management mechanisms for operators of complex technical systems, in the safety context.
In result, this research concerns the design of systems with a built-in knowledge in such a way that the users should be aware of it. Thus, even if it is primarily a basic research that includes development of methods, diagnostic experiments, measuring devices, etc. the design of prototype devices is necessary to conduct practical tests.
He headed the White Box Project for military aviation safety and participated in European Projects: Vintec devoted to flight safety in civil aviation (shared situational awareness) and Vita devoted to safety of the energy supply European network.
It should be stressed that the devices developed by Professor Jan Ober are used in over twenty leading universities and research centers all over the world.
