Description

This sub-project investigates the measurement of individual cognitive load as well as the classification of individual levels of cognitive load in low, middle to optimal load, and overload by means of continuous EEG-signals. The research is conducted with working memory tasks used in basic psychological research as well as learning tasks from schools. One concern is to investigate how well classification results based on basic research tasks can be transferred to more applied contexts.
