The Sunday Times (London) 5 Jul 2015 reported :
That Professor Frederic Dehais is leading reseasch at Toulouse Institute of Aeronautics ans Space into informational overload.
"Visual processes may totally inhibit auditory Processes. There is competition. There are a lot of stimuli in our world and the brain has to decide what is relevant.
" There is too much information in the cockpit, especially during critical events. We call it the Christmas tree effect, because it is flashing everywhere."
Most of my flying was done on rather simpler sircraft AND with a F/E with his extra pair of eyes - and some technical input when time allowed.
