Human mental workload is arguably the most invoked multidimensional construct in Human
Factors and Ergonomics, getting momentum also in Neuroscience and Neuroergonomics …

Brain–computer interfacing (BCI) is a steadily growing area of research. While initially BCI
research was focused on applications for paralyzed patients, increasingly more alternative …

A common cause of road traffic incidents is driver distraction, which can occur when the
driver's attention is engaged in a concurrent secondary task. However, the relationship …

Mental workload is an important factor during driving, as both high and low levels may result
in driver error. This research examined the mental workload of drivers caused by changes in …

Previous work has demonstrated the viability of applying offline analysis to interpret forearm
electromyography (EMG) and classify finger gestures on a physical surface. We extend …

The motivation behind using physiological measures to estimate cognitive activity is typically
to build technology that can help people to understand themselves and their work, or indeed …

This article reviews the basic principles of frequency-domain near-infrared spectroscopy (FD-
NIRS), which relies on intensity-modulated light sources and phase-sensitive optical …

We present a novel approach to measuring similarity between shapes and exploit it for
object recognition. In our framework, the measurement of similarity is preceded by (1) …

Supervisory control environments, such as the NASA control room can induce high workload
levels in situations where a single error is capable of costing millions of dollars. An …

An accurate measure of mental workload level has diverse neuroergonomic applications
ranging from brain computer interfacing to improving the efficiency of human operators. In …
