Sommario/riassunto

The objective of this Research Topic is to document across disciplines (e.g. neuroscience, psychology, engineering, computer science) the most recent developments, ideas, methods and empirical findings that have the potential to expand our knowledge in the human factors involved in the security process. Knowing cognitive, behavioral, social and neural constraints that may affect the security enterprise will undoubtedly result in a more effective deployment of existing human and technological resources. Studying how inter-observer variability, human factors and biology may affect the security agenda, and the usability of existing security technologies, is of great economic and policy interest. In addition, brain sciences may suggest the possibility of novel methods of surveillance and intelligence gathering.
