Spring 2019 – Physiological Indicators of Workload and Stress

Affiliations:
Human Factors & Cogntive Systems Lab
Project Leader: Carolina Rodriguez Paras
caro_rdz@tamu.edu
Industrial & Systems Engineering
Faculty Mentor: Dr. Thomas Ferris, Ph.D.
Meeting Times:
Flexible, will be decided once the team is complete
Team Size:
6 (Team Full)
Open Spots: 0
Special Opportunities:
Students will get the chance to do research on how differences in mental workload are reflected through physiological measures, and 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 workload and stress. This project will explore the physiological patterns to determine the difference between workload, stress, and the startle response. Workload in different domains will be studied, including partially-automated vehicles.
