Extreme Project



This project goes beyond the research efforts conducted on the effects of one or many extreme environmental conditions (heat, cold, wind, etc.) on war fighters, and aims to determine the effects of multiple variables on an individual, as well as a team of war fighters.

The team is reviewing the current state of scientific knowledge as well as the existing infrastructure capable of supporting research and training efforts in this area. Also preliminary experiments of the effects of stress on team performance will be carried out in the Department of Psychology (NMSU) & the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL).
Extreme Team



The team consists of faculty of the Department of Psychology , specialized in different areas of Psychology--Cognitive, Social and Biopsychology, as well as research scientists and technical staff at the Computing Research Lab.
