Testing of Manipulative Skills
A machine for measuring human coordination, EPIC (Electronic
Programmable Interactive Coorditester/Trainer) is another device
developed from NASA technology. It is expected that many uses will
be found, not only in biomedicine, rehabilitation, and the
physiology of muscular coordination but also in job aptitude
testing, law enforcement, and highway safety. In rehabilitation
work, for example, test results can show progress or indicate need
for remedial help.
EPIC is derived from a NASA prototype to test pilot manipulative
skills and determine effects of fatigue on their dexterity. In using
EPIC, colored lights are flashed on a display panel. The person
being tested, using hand and foot controls, tries to match the
lights on his panel.
The lights are constantly changed, calling for continuous
reactions from the person being tested.
