The mental workload judgment in visual cognition under multitask meter scheme

چکیده
In this study, a multitask dynamic testing measure concerning meters was developed using the virtual meter design software GL Studio in order to measure mental workload under multitasks. We recorded subjects’ electroencephalogram (EEG) and analyzed their brain electrical data using spectrum methods, brain maps, independent component analysis (ICA), and Lempel-Ziv complexity (LZC) calculation. The experimental results showed that the methods appeared to be more motivated on the parietal and occipital lobe of the brain. Besides, in the corresponding channels, theta, alpha and beta brainwave frequencies were found to be significantly motivated. LZC was also considered as a powerful tool in evaluating mental workload, whose value has a close connection with mental workload. This research provided a referable experiment design and analysis for studies on the assessment of mental workload under multitasks.

Viewing the Workload of Vigilance Through the Lenses of the NASA-TLX and the MRQ
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of a new index of perceived mental workload, the Multiple Resource Questionnaire (MRQ), with the standard measure of workload used in the study of vigilance, the NASA Task Load Index (NASA-TLX). BACKGROUND The NASA-TLX has been used extensively to demonstrate that vigilance tasks impose a high level of workload on observers. How...

Predicting human performance and mental workload in multiple task situations at an early stage of system design can save a significant amount of time and cost. However, existing modeling tools either can only predict human performance or require users of tools to learn a new programming language. Queueing Network-Model Human Processor (QNMHP) is a new cognitive architecture for modeling both hu...
