You’re invited to attend the Sleep and Performance Research Center’s June Sleep Seminar series.
Siobhan Banks, PhD, will present, “24/7 Teaming: Performance and Fatigue in Face to Face and Distributed Teams.” Teams operating in sustained 24/7 environments face challenges such as fatigue, reduced cohesion, and shifting team dynamics. These effects are seen across all team types, including human-human, human-machine, and human-autonomy teams. Recent multi-day simulated studies reveal that fatigue degrades team performance, communication, and cohesion over time. We explore whether communication tools like mixed reality help or hinder teams. Insights from this work inform strategies to support effective teaming during sustained operations.
This is the final talk in the SPRC June Sleep Seminar series.
Friday, June 13
Noon–1 p.m.
