In addition to extensive study of the physiological, biochemical, and mental/emotional behavior may not sound as complicated as quantifying a neurotransmitter in the brain or as technical as looking at EEG waves, but this field can be tricky, as human behavior must first be reduced and defined to a bare minimum.

       Researchers often use "performance tests" to measure behavior.  Such tests include:
 

•   Measuring behavior by breaking down human actions into smaller units and recording the number of times the units occur
•   Measuring the speed of response to a stimulus
•   Measuring the accuracy of a response to a stimulus

Topics for behavioral consequences:

• Performance tests
•     Commonly utilized performace tests
•         1. Walter-Reed
•         2. Temporal Disorientation Scale
•         3. Visual Misperception Scale
•         4. Vigilance Training
•     Limitations
• Typical patterns of observed behavior
• Typical human studies
