Relationship between Brain Measurement of Pilot Mental Workload during Rotorcraft Dynamic Interface Tests and Subjective Rating Scales (DIPES)
Abstract
The proposed study addresses the area of Handling Qualities (HQ) and focuses on the problem of assessing HQ levels for rotorcraft pilots performing maritime-specific tasks such as shipboard-related tasks or ADS-33 Mission-Task-Elements (MTEs). The University of Maryland aims to 1) explain the variance of Cooper-Harper Rating (CHR) estimates by regressing them on objective, quantitative metrics obtained using multiple psychophysiological biomarkers, and 2) examine the relationship between CHR and psychophysiological and behavioral performance-related measures of workload, and explore differences between test pilots and fleet pilots. This investigation will improve the fundamental understanding of perceived handling qualities through an examination of the dynamic objective processes (i.e., physiological) that influence the final outcome (i.e., CHR).
