Making Sense of Team Information

摘要

This paper describes how meaning can be extracted from large-scale dynamical data to make inferencesabout teamwork that are useful in both the theoretical and practical sense. The dynamics of ananesthesiology team are viewed from the perspectives of: 1) changes in the team’s neurodynamicorganizations with large and small changes in the task; 2) how team member’s neurodynamics contribute toteam neurodynamics; 3) the relationships between task events, heart-rate and neural dynamic organizations;4) the linkages between speech flow, team and team member neurodynamics and topic discussions duringDebriefing; and, 5) the micro-scale neural dynamics reflecting the involvement of the parietal lobes andgamma frequencies. These examples show how different sources of team data can contribute to multimodalunderstandings of individual and teams dynamics that span micro and macro scales of teamwork.
