Task-evoked pupil response (TEPR) can non-intrusively monitor surgeon workload during surgery. Measuring pupil diameter changes during simulated surgical tasks revealed significant differences in mental workload across subtasks.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Human Factors Engineering
  • Surgical Simulation

Background:

  • Task-evoked pupil response (TEPR) is a validated indicator of cognitive load.
  • Monitoring surgeon mental workload is crucial for operating room safety.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the utility of TEPR in assessing mental workload within a simulated surgical context.
  • To determine if pupil response metrics correlate with varying surgical task demands.

Main Methods:

  • A simulated surgical task was designed with three subtasks varying in motor precision and cognitive demand.
  • Pupil diameter change rate was measured using eye-tracking technology during task performance.

Main Results:

  • A significant difference in pupil diameter change rate was observed across the three subtask conditions.

  • These findings indicate TEPR's sensitivity to fluctuating mental workload in surgical scenarios.

    • Conclusions:

    • TEPR offers a promising non-intrusive method for real-time monitoring of surgeon mental workload.
    • Implementing eye-tracking systems could enhance patient safety by alerting to high cognitive load situations.
