Demonstration of Physiological Workload Correlates in Crew Capability Simulation

Abstract

A laboratory physiological measurement device was modified for use in part-mission, multicrew main-in-the-loop simulation experiments. An abstract flight simulation task was employed to obtain behavioral and physiological measures (heart rate, eyeblink, and evoke potentials) which were correlated to achieve an understanding of crew workload. The two classes of workload measures were shown to be relatable and complementary. The modified Neurophysiological Workload Test Battery device was demonstrated to be suitable for use in long duration, manned simulation experiment. Keywords: Human performance; Eyeblink; Simulation; Evoked potentials; Workload; Electrophysiology; Heart rate.
