Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for generating individualized predictions of alertness or performance for human subjects. Alertness or performance predictions may be individualized to incorporate a subject's individual traits and/or individual states. These individual traits and/or individual states (or parameters which represent these individual traits and/or individual states) may be represented by random variables in a mathematical model of human alertness. The mathematical model and/or prediction techniques may incorporate effects of the subject's sleep timing, the subject's intake of biologically active agents (e.g. caffeine) and/or the subject's circadian rhythms. The mathematical model and/or prediction techniques may incorporate feedback from the subject's measured alertness and/or performance.
