Anthony Vacher
Anthony Vacher. Military doctor, researcher specialized in Neuroscience and Cognitive Science at the French Armed Forces Biomedical Research Institute (IRBA, Institut de recherche biomédicale des armées). I work in the Cognitive Ergonomics in Operational Situation Unit, a research unit in which researchers study the situational, socio-cognitive, and organizational factors that influence individual and collective decision-making of operators in complex and high-risky systems (Defence, aeronautics, and healthcare). Our research unit is the reference lab for the analysis of human and organizational factors involved in serious state aircraft events.
