Hi Everyone, I wanted to share this info with you:

“I am forwarding the following information about the SJSU
Psychology Department’s Spartan Psychological Association Research
Conference (SPARC) because I thought our keynote speaker may be of interest
to students in your Human Factors program.

SPARC is a research conference which gives undergraduate and graduate
students an opportunity to present their psychological research in talks and
poster sessions.  Each year we also have a keynote speaker.

Our featured speaker this year is Dr. David C. Foyle, who is a SJSU alumnus.
Dr. Foyle is currently a Senior Research Psychologist in the Human Factors
Research & Technology Division at the NASA Ames Research Center.  Below is
his talk title and date/time.  I’ve also attached an announcement and
schedule for SPARC.

Title:  Aviation Human Factors Research: Designing Human-Centere Systems
Date & Time: Tuesday, April 21, 3:00 – 4:00, LomaPrieta Ballroom

More information about SPARC and Dr. Foyle can be found at the following

We hope to see some of your students at the conference!

I’m not sure how many of you are familiar with split-adjustable ergonomic keyboards. I have been doing research on a few designs including the Key Ovation Goldtouch. (This is actually the keyboard that I use at my house) As ergonomics students we should be familiar with products like this, so I thought I’d share
