Claim One:
1. A method for calculating a normalized contextual performance metric using a computer, the method comprising: providing, at a computer, one or more incident records, wherein each incident record represents an incident occurrence and is parameterized by: an incident value that is based on at least one measurable characteristic of the incident occurrence; and an incident level that is based on a neurobehavioral state of one or more individuals associated with the incident occurrence; providing, at the computer, one or more activity records, wherein each activity record represents an activity occurrence and is parameterized by: an activity value that is based on at least one measurable characteristic of the activity occurrence; and an activity fatigue level that is based on a neurobehavioral state of an individual associated with the activity occurrence; selecting one or more activity records from among the provided activity records, wherein the selected activity records are parameterized by activity fatigue levels within a fatigue level range of interest; selecting one or more incident records from among the provided incident records, wherein the selected incident records are parameterized by incident fatigue levels within the fatigue level range of interest; and determining a normalized contextual performance metric for the fatigue level range of interest, the normalized contextual performance metric comprising a sum of the incident values of the selected incident records divided by a sum of the activity values of the selected activity records.
