Unraveling the Dynamics of Mental and Visuospatial Workload in Virtual Reality Environments by Bernal, Guillermo, Jung, Hahrin, Yassı, İsmail Emir, Hidalgo, Nelson, Alemu, Yodahe, Barnes-Diana, Tyler, Maes, Pattie

“…We utilized a modified version of the popular computer game TETRIS as the task, involving 25 participants, and employed a physiological computing VR headset that simultaneously records multimodal physiological data. Our findings indicate a broadband increase in EEG power just prior to a helper event, followed by a spike of visuospatial engagement (parietal alpha and beta 0-1-3 s) occurring concurrently with a decrease in mental workload (frontal theta 2–4 s), and subsequent decreases in visuospatial engagement (parietal theta at 14 s) and physiological arousal (HRV at 20 s). …”
