Abstract

It has been shown that an increased mental workload in pilots could lead to a decrease in their situation awareness, which could lead, in turn, to a worse piloting performance and ultimately to critical human errors. Assessing the current pilot's psycho-physiological state is a hot topic of interest for developing advanced embedded cockpits systems capable of adapting their behavior to the state and performance of the pilot. In this work, we investigate a method to classify different levels of cognitive workload starting from synchronized EEG and eye-tracking information. The classifier object of the research is targeted to score a performance high enough to be applicable as a gauge for performance of unobtrusive monitoring systems working with data of lower quality.
