Special Opportunities:
|
Students will get the chance to do research on how differences in mental workload levels are reflected through physiological measures. Opportunities are also available to become full members of the research group.

|
Team Needs:
|
Creative problem solving is required. Programming skills are sought after but not mandatory. No research experience is required, but students must be willing to learn.

Description:
|
Physiological measures, such as heart rate and skin conductance, tend to change in response to increased levels of mental workload. The cognitive redline is the threshold where mental resources are depleted. The threshold can be detected through performance decrements and physiological patterns. This project will explore how a combination of physiological patterns, subjective measures, and performance, can be indicative of the cognitive redline
