NASA Task Load Index (NASA-TLX) is a widely used assessment technique to compute subjective workload experienced during a task. It evaluates workload using six dimensions: mental demand, physical demand, temporal demand, frustration,…
Our interest was to evaluate changes in fixation duration as a function of time-on-task (TOT) during a random saccade task. We employed a large, publicly available dataset. The frequency histogram of fixation durations was multimodal and…
Electroencephalography (EEG) has been widely used to study the relationship between naps and working memory, yet the effects of naps on distinct working memory tasks remain unclear. Here, participants performed word-pair and visuospatial…
We conducted an eye-tracking study where 30 participants performed searches on the web. We measured their topical knowledge before and after each task. Their eye-fixations were labelled as "reading" or "scanning". The series of reading…
With the increasing prevalence of 3D videos, investigating the differences of viewing experiences between 2D and 3D videos has become an important issue. In this study, we explored the cognitive load induced by 2D and 3D video stimuli under…
Gaze-based virtual keyboards provide an effective interface for text entry by eye movements. The efficiency and usability of these keyboards have traditionally been evaluated with conventional text entry performance measures such as words…
Conceptual models visually represent entities and relationships between them in an information system. Effective conceptual models should be simple while communicating sufficient information. This trade-off between model complexity and…
This study employs cutting-edge wearable monitoring technology to conduct high-precision, high-temporal-resolution (1-second interval) cognitive load assessment on electroencephalogram (EEG) data from the FP1 channel and heart rate…
Usability testing is an essential part of product design, particularly for user interfaces. To enhance the reliability of usability evaluations, employing cognitive load measurement methods can be highly effective in assessing the mental…
Human errors in performing security-critical tasks are typically blamed on the complexity of those tasks. However, such errors can also occur because of (possibly unexpected) sensory distractions. A sensory distraction that produces…
One of the major challenges for evaluating the effectiveness of data visualizations and visual analytics tools arises from the fact that different users may be using these tools for different tasks. In this paper, we present a simple…
We study the ability of human observer to control fixation duration during execution of visual search tasks. We conducted the eye-tracking experiments with natural and synthetic images and found the dependency of fixation duration on…
Cognitive training for sustained attention and working memory is vital across domains relying on robust mental capacity such as education or rehabilitation. Adaptive systems are essential, dynamically matching difficulty to user ability to…
Non-intrusive, real-time analysis of the dynamics of the eye region allows us to monitor humans' visual attention allocation and estimate their mental state during the performance of real-world tasks, which can potentially benefit a wide…
Real-time cognitive workload monitoring is crucial in safety-critical environments, yet established measures are intrusive, expensive, or lack temporal resolution. We tested whether facial movement dynamics from a standard webcam could…
In this paper, we present a new feature that can be used to classify cognitive load based on pupil information. The feature consists of a temporal segmentation of the eye tracking recordings. For each segment of the temporal partition, a…
Human cognitive performance is critical to productivity, learning, and accident avoidance. Cognitive performance varies throughout each day and is in part driven by intrinsic, near 24-hour circadian rhythms. Prior research on the impact of…
Critical task and cognition-based environments, such as in military and defense operations, aviation user-technology interaction evaluation on UI, understanding intuitiveness of a hardware model or software toolkit, etc. require an…
Accurate assessment of mental workload (MW) is crucial for understanding cognitive processes during visualization tasks. While EEG-based measures are emerging as promising alternatives to conventional assessment techniques, such as…
We present a novel multimodal dataset for Cognitive Load Assessment in REal-time (CLARE). The dataset contains physiological and gaze data from 24 participants with self-reported cognitive load scores as ground-truth labels. The dataset…
