0.1-Hz HRV may distinguish work from rest; leaves open utility for fine-grained mental workload grading.
Does the 0.1-Hz component of heart rate variability discriminate among levels of mental work stress induced by different tasks?
The 0.1-Hz component of HRV discriminates between work and rest but is not a reliable measure of fine-grained mental or cognitive workload.
Nickel et al. (2003) studied this question.
