Research summary
AI-generated

Nicholas E. Anton studies how surgeons, nurses, and other health professionals learn and perform clinical skills, with a focus on simulation-based training and the mental and visual processes behind expert decision-making. Recent work examines non-technical skills (such as communication and situational awareness), cognitive workload during procedures, and the well-being of healthcare workers. Methods include eye tracking, brain activity measurement, and emerging tools like large language models for coaching.

Collaborators per year
Distinct co-authors at Indiana University each year — a rough indication of whether the group around this researcher has been growing or contracting. An estimate from co-authorship, not a roster: collaborators are not necessarily lab members, and recent years can be under-counted while indexing catches up.
