Human-factors research and engineering apply information about physical and psychological characteristics of human users, operators and designers to the creation of devices and systems that will interact with humans. It is closely related to the field of ergonomics or human-centric engineering. Human reliability or human-errors research is a subfield that has seen intensive work after the Three Mile Island accident revealed that human-machine interactions were a focus of errors that could cascade out of control.
See the work in human reliability at the Risk Institute by Caroline Morais, Raphael Moura, Atousha, and others.
