Mutual Information between EDA and EEG in Multiple Cognitive Tasks and Sleep Deprivation Conditions by David Alejandro Martínez Vásquez, Hugo F. Posada-Quintero, Diego Mauricio Rivera Pinzón

“…Monitoring changes in the interplay between the central and autonomic sympathetic nervous system can be a potential indicator of human’s readiness to perform tasks that involve a certain level of cognitive load (e.g., driving). The electroencephalogram (EEG) is the standard to assess the brain’s activity. …”

Examining Performance between Different Cognitive-Motor Dual-Task Tests in Community-Dwelling Older Adults by Anastasios Georgantas, Panagiota Stefani, Epameinondas Lyros, Dimitrios Chytas, Anna Christakou

“…These findings suggest that the cognitive task type can significantly influence motor performance during DT activities. Adding a cognitive load to the TUG test may improve its ability to identify older adults at risk for falls, aiding in the development of targeted interventions. …”

A multi-modal approach to measuring the effect of XAI on air traffic controller trust during off-nominal runway exits by Pushparaj, Kiranraj, Reddy, Pratusha, Vu-Tran, Duy, Izzetoglu, Kurtulus, Alam,Sameer

“…The results indicated that higher levels of perceived transparency led to an increase in trust levels, with an accompanied increase in cognitive load and complacency, even with low prediction accuracy by the intelligent decision aid. …”

Expertise level identification of air traffic controllers through visual measures and explainable AI by Lin, Yen-Po

“…These results emphasize the added value of integrating physiological data in assessing the performance and cognitive load of ATCos. The key contributions are the development in using eye-tracking as a quantitative tool to assess expertise and the integration of XAI in transparent decision-making in ATM. …”

Generalised kuramoto models with time-delayed phase-resetting for k-dimensional clocks by Brennan, M, Grindrod, P

“…We argue that the existence of the latter plays a key role in preconditioning the former, reducing the decision sets and the cognitive load, and thus enabling a fast-thinking evolutionary advantage. …”

Cerebral mechanisms for different second language writing systems. by Koyama, MS, Stein, J, Stoodley, C, Hansen, P

“…The increased activation in the Japanese-L1/English-L2 group likely reflects the increased cognitive load associated with L2 English reading, possibly because L1 readers of Kana, which has an extremely regular orthography, may need to adjust to the greater phonological demands of the irregular L2 English orthography. …”

Interventions to optimise the outputs of national clinical audits to improve the quality of health care: a multi-method study including RCT by Thomas A Willis, Alexandra Wright-Hughes, Ana Weller, Sarah L Alderson, Stephanie Wilson, Rebecca Walwyn, Su Wood, Fabiana Lorencatto, Amanda Farrin, Suzanne Hartley, Jillian Francis, Valentine Seymour, Jamie Brehaut, Heather Colquhoun, Jeremy Grimshaw, Noah Ivers, Richard Feltbower, Justin Keen, Benjamin C Brown, Justin Presseau, Chris P Gale, Simon J Stanworth, Robbie Foy

“…No modification independently increased intended enactment of audit standards. Minimised cognitive load improved comprehension (+0.1; p = 0.014) and plans to bring audit findings to colleagues’ attention (+0.13, on a –3 to +3 scale; p = 0.016). …”
