Passive BCI technology + Neuroergonomics: a match that powers new levels of competitive edge 👇
▪️ A crucial component of Neuroergonomics -the field that studies the human brain performance at work- is assessing mental workload.
But reliably measuring the cognitive load of a user (to adapt a specific task) is a challenge that most assessment tools have not yet accomplished.
Continue reading to discover how passive BCI can effectively solve this 👇
▪️ Maintaining mental workload levels in that exact spot between difficulty and ease -by adapting the task to the right level- is essential to reach optimal human performance.
🧠 But cognitive load levels are highly variable and hard to directly measure or predict.
▪️ Humans have limited cognitive and attention capabilities and different tasks require different processing resources. Moreover, cognitive requirements of a particular task depend on the skillset, experience and state of mind of the user, as well as on the context under which a task is being performed.
❌ Most off-the-shelf workload assessment tools fail to adapt to a specific task in real-time as the feedback methods used might not be sensitive, specific or reliable enough.
✔️ Passive BCI-based workload monitoring, on the other hand, is one of the few methods that can be deployed in real-time and probe processes directly related to cognitive strain and load, all while being independent of the task or the operator. Additionally, it can synergize very well with alternative types of monitoring, providing the capability to develop a truly generalizable platform for monitoring mental workload and a variety of other mental states to maintain optimal cognitive load levels required for a specific task.
