Area of Science:

  • Aerospace Engineering
  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Neuroscience

Background:

  • Estimating pilot cognitive workload is crucial for flight safety.
  • Current methods often rely on invasive techniques or subjective reports.
  • Developing non-invasive, objective measures is a key research objective.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To derive and validate a non-invasive technique for estimating pilot cognitive workload.
  • To correlate physiological and ocular parameters with cognitive workload.
  • To assess the impact of task difficulty and lighting on workload estimation.

Main Methods:

  • User trials using psychometric tests to evaluate ocular metrics (pupil, gaze) for cognitive workload.
  • Flight simulator (NALSim Learjet) trials analyzing ocular parameters, electroencephalographic (EEG) signals, and flight data.
  • Analysis of EEG frequency bands, gaze distribution, pupil diameter, and duty cycle metrics.

Main Results:

  • Ocular metrics and EEG signals effectively estimated cognitive workload.
  • Introduction of a secondary task significantly increased pilot cognitive workload.
  • Specific indicators like beta EEG frequency, nearest neighborhood index, pupil diameter L1 Norm, and duty cycle correlated with workload variations.

Conclusions:

  • Non-invasive techniques using EEG and ocular parameters show promise for real-time cognitive workload assessment in pilots.
  • These metrics can detect significant workload increases, such as those induced by secondary tasks.
  • Further research can refine these methods for operational flight safety applications.
