Tactors are small actuators that vibrate against the skin to provide a physical stimulus in response to an electrical input.
Tactile Cueing is the process of using single or multiple vibrational stimuli, applied at appropriate locations around the body, to provide information to a user through the sense of touch.
Advanced Tactile Array Cueing (ATAC) uses an array of tactors to convey a cue, message or information to the user - a wearable tactile display.

The solution to improving pilots' situational awareness (SA), especially under difficult operating conditions, lies in the use of tactile cueing for spatial orientation information.
Research has shown that tactile pilot cueing is a low cost, mature technology that can play a key role in improving SA in military aircraft.
The sense of touch is intrinsically linked with the neuro-motor channel of the brain, both at the reflex and higher cognitive regions.
This makes it intuitively tied to orientation and localization.

As the Army moves to integrated dismounted situation awareness (SA) and mission command (MC) systems, the Warfighter will need to rapidly access, and act on, ever increasing amounts of data.
The NavCom system addresses this need by working in conjunction with commercial mobile devices to provide time-critical navigation and communication cues to the Warfighter via the sense of touch.
Situation awareness is key to safe and effective execution of combat missions.
Under combat conditions, dismounted Warfighters consistently experience heavy cognitive workload interpreting conventional visual displays, verbal commands and hand signals.

Neuromodulation refers to a wide spectrum of interventional techniques that attempt to modify the nervous system to achieve therapeutic effect.
There are multiple neural pathways that connect relatively distant areas of the body to the brain.
Current approaches to neuromodulation may be direct i.e.
Therapeutic neuromodulation approaches can relieve symptoms that have a neurological basis.
As the technology has progressed, there is also a definite move towards non-invasive neuromodulation stimulation approaches.

The Enhanced Tactile Situational Awareness System (eTSAS) is an advanced situational awareness (SA) tool that uses the sensory channel of touch to provide situational awareness information to pilots.
Spatial Disorientation is the leading cause of aviation mishaps in general aviation and military aviation.
We are working with leading experts in the country to find new ways to make the pilot more aware of his surroundings.
EAI has developed a range of simulation products including flight simulators, virtual reality systems and immersive demonstrations.
