Human Adaptation

Human adaptation, the process by which humans adjust to changing environments and interactions, is a multifaceted research area focusing on understanding the mechanisms and consequences of this adjustment. Current research investigates this through various lenses, including the physiological responses to extreme environments like space, the strategic interplay between humans and adaptive machines using game-theoretic models and reinforcement learning algorithms, and the cognitive biases influencing adaptation to challenges such as climate change and technological advancements. These studies aim to improve our understanding of human behavior in dynamic systems, leading to better design of assistive technologies, more effective strategies for mitigating environmental impacts, and a deeper understanding of human decision-making.
