This study introduces an automated Brain Computer Interface (BCI) framework using EEG signals for real-time mental workload (MWL) estimation. The novel EEG-TNet model achieves high accuracy, offering a convenient way to reduce human error risks in occupational settings.

Area of Science:

Neuroscience
Cognitive Science
Human-Computer Interaction

Background:

Mental workload (MWL) is a key factor in occupational accidents.
Brain Computer Interfaces (BCI) using EEG signals are effective for cognitive status assessment.
Current EEG-based MWL estimation methods are time-consuming and not real-time applicable.

Purpose of the Study:

To propose an end-to-end BCI framework for real-time MWL estimation.
To develop an automated data preprocessing method for EEG artifact removal.
To design a novel neural network (EEG-TNet) for temporal and frequency EEG feature extraction.

Main Methods:

Developed an automated EEG data preprocessing technique.
Designed the EEG-TNet neural network architecture.

Keywords:

brain computer interface deep neural network ergonomics mental workload occupational safety

Conducted subject-dependent and independent experiments, including ablation studies.

Main Results:

Subject-dependent MWL estimation accuracy reached 99.82% (dual-task) and 99.21% (triple-task).
Subject-independent accuracy was 82.78% (dual-task) and 66.83% (triple-task).
Ablation studies confirmed the significant contribution of the preprocessing method and network structure.

Conclusions:

The proposed automated BCI framework provides convenient and accurate real-time MWL estimation.
The EEG-TNet model effectively extracts temporal and frequency information from EEG signals.
This approach offers a promising solution for reducing human factor risks in occupational environments.
