Physiological Parameter Response to Variation of Mental Workload

Physiological Parameter Response to Variation of Mental Workload

OBJECTIVE To examine the relationship between experienced mental workload and physiological response by noninvasive monitoring of physiological parameters. BACKGROUND Previous studies have examined how individual physiological measures respond to changes in mental demand and subjective reports of workload. This study explores the response of multiple physiological parameters and quantifies th...

Physiological Evaluation of Music Effect for the Mental Workload

Studies of mental stress have become the more important topics recently. Various studies have been conducted on physiological effects of music, while the effects of music under stress condition is not revealed in detail. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of music on participants’ subjective and physiological response by mental workload. First, eight participants (mean age;...

Models of Mental Workload 3 Subjective Measures of Mental Workload

The primary objective of this research project was to investigate models for monitoring and predicting subjective workload in the control of complex systems. Such models would enable systems to use workload levels to distribute tasks optimally in addition to identifying levels of workload which could lead to a serious breakdown in performance. In the aircraft-pilot system, for example, such cap...

Allocation of Communications to Reduce Mental Workload

As the United States Department of Defense continues to increase the number of Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) operations overseas, improved Human Systems Integration becomes increasingly important. Manpower limitations have motivated the investigation of Multiple Aircraft Control (MAC) configurations where a single pilot controls multiple RPAs simultaneously. Previous research has indicated th...
