Allison Bayro, an intern with the Naval Research Lab poses for a photo, Aug. 16. Bayro, a biomedical engineering PhD candidate from Arizona State, has a background in physiological sensing and virtual reality and is part of the team in the Naval Aerospace Medical Institute's (NAMI) behavioral research lab. Her work centers around the implementation of Assessing Spatial Abilities in Naval Aviation (ASANA). Users of the system must navigate immersive scenarios with ever increasing levels of difficulty and are asked to answer questions designed to test a person's ability to multitask and think abstractly. ASANA uses eye tracking, motion, bio metric, reaction time, and behavioral monitoring to collect data in order to pair with a user's aptitude testing data to help determine their viability as a pilot or flight officer candidate. With five detachments, 12 training centers, and facilities in over 60 locations across the United States, NMOTC provides high impact individual medical training for the Navy, other U.S. armed forces, and allied nations around the globe.
