    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Network Theory
    • Cognitive Science

    Background:

    • Understanding the brain as a complex system is crucial.
    • Network theory provides novel approaches to analyze brain function.
    • Time-variant functional connectivity during complex tasks remains an active research area.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the relevance of small-worldness to human workload.
    • To explore brain network connectivity during complex cognitive and motor tasks.
    • To apply a dynamic analytic approach using electroencephalogram (EEG) signals.

    Main Methods:

    • Designed flight simulation tasks at two difficulty levels (easy and hard).
    • Analyzed electroencephalogram (EEG) signals using a dynamic approach.
    • Focused on the small-worldness of brain networks during task performance.

    Main Results:

    • Demonstrated a consistent small-world architecture in brain connectivity.
    • Observed time-based variance in brain network architecture during complex tasks.
    • Found an increased small-world effect in the alpha band during hard (high workload) tasks compared to easy (low workload) tasks.

    Conclusions:

    • Dynamic brain network analysis is effective for exploring time-variant connectivity.
    • Task-dependent brain connectivity patterns were identified.
    • Small-worldness in the alpha band correlates with human workload levels during complex tasks.
