EEG Indices of Cognitive Workload under Normoxia-Hypoxia Conditions

Abstract

Theta and alpha electroencephalographic (EEG) frequency power have been used in past studies to index cognitive workload. Recently, portable dry EEG systems have become available making it possible to collect data in an operational environment. This study used portable dry EEG recordings in combination with a U.S. Air Force-supported performance assessment tool (PAT) to quantify the effects of hypoxia on aspects of aviation-relevant human performance. This project assessed whether significant changes in brainwave frequency power occurred in response to cognitive workloads and hypoxic exposure that maybe experienced in military aviation.
