چکیده

Electroencephalography (EEG) is an important physiological index of cognitive workload. While previous research has employed high-end EEG devices, this work investigates the feasibility of measuring cognitive workload with a low-cost EEG system. In our experiment, EEG signals are recorded from subjects performing silent reading tasks under different difficulty levels. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of cognitive workload evaluation even with low-cost EEG equipment.

ICA-Derived EEG Correlates to Mental Fatigue, Effort, and Workload in a Realistically Simulated Air Traffic Control Task

Electroencephalograph (EEG) has been increasingly studied to identify distinct mental factors when persons perform cognitively demanding tasks. However, most of these studies examined EEG correlates at channel domain, which suffers the limitation that EEG signals are the mixture of multiple underlying neuronal sources due to the volume conduction effect. Moreover, few studies have been conducte...

Can Helmet Weight Affect Cognitive Performance and Mental Workload? An Experimental Study

This study sought to examine the effect of helmet weight on cognitive performance and mental workload. Twenty participants were studied in three one-hour sessions. The participants were asked to read and work with computer under three conditions: while wearing no helmets, while wearing a helmet that weighed 800 g (A), and while wearing a helmet weighing 1500 g (B). “N-back” task and Continuous ...
