Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Science
  • Neuroscience
  • Human-Computer Interaction

Background:

  • Understanding and dynamically monitoring mental workload is crucial for complex tasks.
  • Existing methods may not capture the dynamic nature of cognitive load.
  • Human-machine system efficiency and safety are directly impacted by mental workload.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore methods for dynamically monitoring mental workload in a virtual operating environment.
  • To analyze the dynamic characteristics of mental workload using electroencephalography (EEG).
  • To identify sensitive EEG features for real-time workload assessment.

Main Methods:

  • Construction of a virtual operating environment simulating perception, judgment-making, and action execution.
  • Analysis of dynamic mental workload using subjective questionnaires, performance data, and EEG.
  • Non-linear dynamic analysis of EEG signals, focusing on fractal box dimension and sample entropy.

Main Results:

  • Fractal box dimension of EEG signals is sensitive to mental workload levels, significantly impacting four brain areas.
  • Sample entropy of EEG signals also demonstrates sensitivity to mental workload, affecting frontal, central, and occipital areas.
  • These EEG characteristics provide dynamic indicators of cognitive load during task execution.

Conclusions:

  • EEG-based fractal box dimension and sample entropy are effective for dynamic mental workload monitoring.
  • Findings support adaptive task assignment based on real-time personnel workload states.
  • This approach can enhance the safety and efficiency of human-machine system operations.
