| description | Preprocessing electroencephalographic (EEG) signals during computer-mediated Cognitive Load tasks is crucial in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). This process significantly influences subsequent EEG analysis and the efficacy of Artificial Intelligence (AI) models employed in Cognitive Load Assessment. Consequently, it stands as an indispensable procedure for developing dependable systems capable of adapting to users’ cognitive capacities and constraints. We systematically analyzed fifty-seven (57) research papers on computer-mediated Cognitive Load EEG experiments published between 2018 and 2023. The preprocessing methods identified were multiple, controversial, and strongly dependent on the particularities of each experiment and the derived experimental dataset. Our investigation involved the meticulous classification of preprocessing methods based on distinct parameters, namely the degree of user intervention, the noise level, and the subject pool size. Particular attention was paid to semi-automated denoising technology since conventional methods, advanced approaches, and standardized pipelines overwhelm research, but no optimum solution is available yet. This survey is anticipated to provide a valuable contribution to the rising demand for an efficient and fully automated preprocessing approach in EEG-based computerized Cognitive Load experiments. |
