Research overview

Human Cognitive State Estimation and Cross-Subject Generalization

  • #CognitiveLoad
  • #EEG
  • #ECG

  • #Gaze

I am investigating how well EEG, ECG, EDA, and eye-tracking data can estimate cognitive load, and whether the models generalize to new participants.

The physiological measurements include electroencephalography (EEG), electrocardiography (ECG), and electrodermal activity (EDA), alongside eye-tracking measures. Cognitive load is the specific cognitive state examined in this study.

Illustrative workflow combining physiological and eye-tracking features for cognitive-load classification.
Illustrative workflow for multimodal cognitive-load classification. Generalization to new participants is evaluated using participants held out from model development.

Research questions

What this study is investigating

01

Multimodal estimation

How accurately can EEG, ECG, EDA, and eye-tracking data estimate cognitive load?

02

Generalization

How well do models developed with one group of participants generalize to new participants?

General approach

From measurements to evaluation

01

Prepare measurements

Review signal quality and align the physiological and gaze recordings for analysis.

02

Develop features

Represent the complementary modalities and assess their potential contribution.

03

Plan validation

Compare cognitive-load estimation within the study cohort with performance on participants held out from model development.

Project status

Work in progress

The research and evaluation are ongoing. Findings will be added when they are ready for public release.
