Abstract

This position paper describes an experiment conducted to understand the relationships between different physiological measures including pupil Diameter, Blinking Rate, Heart Rate, and Heart Rate Variability in order to develop an estimation of users' mental load in real-time (see Sidebar 1). Our experiment involved performing a task to spot a correct or an incorrect word or sentence with different difficulties in order to induce mental load. We briefly present the analysis of task performance and response time for the items of the experiment task.
