Understanding how the brain and body respond to workplace demands is a central challenge for researchers. This growing area of study, known as , combines , , and research to better understand how people perform in complex real-world environments.
Multimodal monitoring provides comprehensive response data to help researchers assess more than just task performance.
✔️ Eye tracking provides insight into attention and visual processing
✔️ Cardiovascular measures reveal the ANS response to mental demands
✔️ Electroencephalography (EEG) can reveal changes in neural activity associated with attention and cognitive effort
✔️ Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) measures changes in cortical blood oxygenation linked to mental workload
