Sensitivity of the Spatial Distribution of Fixations to Variations in the Type of Task Demand and Its Effectiveness as a Trigger for Adaptive Automation

Abstract

The proposed research activity investigates the spatial distribution of eye fixations as a real-time measure of mental workload. Recent studies have successfully related the distribution of eye fixations to the mental load. The scope of this research project is to devise a set of experiments for separating the contribution of three types of tasks demands (i.e., temporal, mental, and physical) and to determine which of these (and when) should be considered for using an index of spatial distribution as a trigger in ocular-based adaptive systems.
