Biography
George V. Kondraske is professor of electrical engineering and bioengineering at the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA). He is also the founding director of the Human Performance Institute at UTA. He received a B.S. in electrical engineering from the University of Rochester and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from The University of Texas at Arlington – University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center joint program in biomedical engineering. He joined the faculty at UTA in 1982.
His research has been aimed at a quantitative understanding of the relationship between human systems and tasks from the perspective of performance. He developed an array of instruments and methods to measure different aspects of human perfomrance, including information processing, sensory, and neuromotor performance capacities. He introduced General Systems Performance Theory (GSPT) and applied it to the human system to realize the Elemental Resource Model (ERM) for human performance. This resulted in the development of new performance modeling and predictive analytic methods known as Nonlinear Causal Resource Analysis (NCRA). More recently, he has applied GSPT and other performance measurement concepts to web-based measurement tools, including the commercial product known as RC21X (a brain performance capacity measurement tool for self- or supervised administration)
Research has been sponsored by NIDRR, NSF, NASA, DOE, USAF, NIH, the Veterans Administration, as well as private foundations and companies. He has authored over 250 published works, served as Section Editor for the “Human Performance Engineering” section of The Biomedical Engineering Handbook (CRC Press), and holds several patents. He was awarded the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) "Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society Early Career Award", the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation "Becton-Dickinson Career Achievement Award", is a Fellow of the IEEE and a charter fellow of the National Academy of Inventors.
Dr. Kondraske has expertise in human and system performance measurement and modeling, predictive analytics, assistive technologies, sensor and instrumentation design, and measurement systems.

General Systems Performance Theory
General Systems Performance Theory (GSPT), while applicable to any system-task, was motivated by human performance challenges. For insight into fundamental principles, human system complexity was set aside and focus was placed on simple hypothetical systems and tasks. GSPT provides a first principles, conceptual, quantitative, and hierarchical framework for modeling systems, tasks, and their interface using a modeling abstraction that focuses on the notion of "performance". With GSPT, systems (and subsystems) are modeled as possessing a set of "performance resources" that reflect the unique qualities that characterize "how well" a given system executes its function (e.g., accuracy, speed, strength, endurance, etc.). The nonlinear, threshold-oriented mathematics of resource economics are incorporated, which simply states that resource availability (RA) must exceed resource demand (RD) for "success" of a given system in a given task. Multiple performance resources are drawn upon by tasks; this thus extends to the logical combination of resources; i.e., "sufficiency" is required for Resource "I" AND "J" AND "L", etc. The concept of a performance capacity envelope is derived from this representation, the volume of which represents the capacity of the system to perform tasks that make demands on performance resources that form the multi-dimensional performance space. A task analysis, performance modeling and performance prediction methodology dubbed Nonlinear Causal Resource Analysis (NCRA) was also developed using GSPT. NCRA not only estimates the level of performance in a higher level task (HLT) supported by a set of lower level or basic performance resources (BPRs), but also identifies which basic performance resources limit HLT performance.

Elemental Resource Model for human performance
The Elemental Resource Model (ERM) for human performance was developed by combining: 1) the application of General Systems Performance Theory (GSPT) to the human subsystems at several carefully selected hierarchical levels, and 2) concepts of monadology. Monadology dates to 384 B.C., but was formalized by Leibnitz and is essentially the idea of using combinations of a finite set of "basic elements" to describe and understand things with a great deal of complexity; vis a vis chemistry, phonemes in speech, genetic and English "alphabets" (i.e., 4 and 26 "elements", respectively), etc. In addition, the "math" of performance has been shown to be the "math" of chemistry, where "+" means "combined with", not "added to" (mathematically). These foundational components have been studied, further developed, and experimentally explored in a number of contexts (including sports, education, activities of daily living, musical performance, and surgery). They have been applied to define performance measures, guide the design of performance measurement instruments, and to derive new analytic methods.

Web-Based Brain Perfromance Profiling System Validation Studies (TAP Matching) sponsored by Home Base Impairment Company - $32,927 PIA wide variety of circumstances can affect brain performance.One of major and growing interest is that of concussions/head trauma. Tools presently available to screen individuals subjected to a potential concussion-inducing event are either: 1) very simplistic and largely subjective or 2) inaccessible to youths and parents (as well as other older athletes), time consuming, and expensive. The technology that is the focus of the proposed project (dubbed RC21X) is a web-based, quick (10-12 minutes), self-administered (or adult supervised) Brain Performance Profiling System that includes 14 modules measuring human cognitive, information processing, and neuromotor performance. Tests are designed and presented as games ?played? repeatedly over time to establish a normal baseline performance range for each subject. RC21X is designed to raise awareness about brain-related performance and, specifically, changes in performance. Tests are based on the concepts and lab-based measurement systems developed by Dr. Kondraske and others, drawing on a substantial scientific basis. Home Base Impairment Co. has partnered with UTA to develop and commercialize RC21X. The current project aims to remove a barrier to, and thereby accelerate, marketing in key segments by providing studies that produce direct evidence of RC21X reliability (repeatability) and validity.read more...

Performance Analysis Software Demonstration/Validation sponsored by Concurrent Technologies Corporation - $185,818 PIWe have developed a new method for task analysis and prediction of success or failure of a given system (including human systems) in a given task.The method is called Nonlinear Causal Resource Analysis. The method has received interest from the Dept of Defense and specifically, the Defense Safety Oversight Council. In this project, the goal is to apply NCRA analysis to existing safety-related data sets to derive measures of human performance and analysis results that are predictive of safety/mishaps. The first aspect of the project involves identifying data sources and working with DoD personnel to obtain access to the data. At least one and possibly two data sets will be identified and then used to carry out a series of NCRA analyses. These will be described in a final report for the project. This will thereby demonstrate and validate the applicability of the NCRA methodology and software to existing data from other DoD safety-related studies or projects and provide a first step toward more widespread dissemination of the method and related tools for its implementation. (Note: No new data collection will occur, but access to human data is required. This will likely only be in the form of de-identified data sets. Both UTA and possibly DoD IRBs will be consulted to insure proper handling.)read more...

Steadiness/Tremor Measurement using General Systems Performance Theory sponsored by IEEE Instrumentation & Measurement Society - $15,000 PIConceptual investigation and experimental evaluation of an approach to form a single numerical value of "overall steadiness" has been previously published as part of thesis work.This approach to steadiness/tremor measurement achieved several improvements over traditional approaches, and utilized a performance resource framework dubbed General Systems Performance Theory (GSPT). Current work proposed aims to achieve design of a second-generation inertial measurement device with additional, built-in processing capability useful for clinical research. Steadiness measures of at least fifty subjects will be collected, and these measures will be evaluated based on the current gold standard ratings as given by an expert rater(s) (e.g., neurologist) observing video taken of subjects during the research protocol (September 1st 2011-2012). Comparison with a traditional, widely used clinical rating scale (which includes tremor among other concepts) called the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) will also be performed. Results will be published in a future edition of IEEE Transactions on Instrumentation and Measurement.read more...
