چکیده
This paper was aimed at evaluating the mental work-load (MWL) with psycho-physiological indices. Especially, we focused on the intermittent type of MWL, which is assumed as a predisposing factor of various somatic and mental disorders. In the experiment, we introduced a facial skin thermo image comparing with conventional physiological indices, such as electrocardiogram (ECG) and electroencephalogram (EEG). As a result, the facial skin image was suggested to be a useful tool for evaluating such an intermittent type of MWL.
