Panoramic cockpit limitations?

A US Air Force effort, Stress PIT (psychologically induced tension), is designed to determine whether or not peripheral items on a large-scale display are noticeable under various pilot psychological states (stressed, normal, relaxed). In the stressed state, peripheral vision has been shown to shrink due to the phenomena known as attentional narrowing, and it is hypothesized that peripheral vision will widen when subjects are relaxed. Through the use of simulators with man-in-the-loop testing, Stress PIT is designed to study this potential limitation and provide recommendations, allowing current and future panoramic cockpit designers to make smart decisions regarding peripheral display usage
