Key result
A mobile EEG setup combined with machine learning models successfully discriminated between distinct levels of cognitive load with an accuracy of 86%.
Why the study?
Mental workload is an important aspect of learning performance and motivation, and the study investigated whether a mobile EEG setup could track it to evaluate cognitive training approaches.
Can a mobile EEG setup track mental workload during a cognitive task in healthy subjects?
Population
Twenty five healthy subjects
Comparison
Three-level N-back test with mobile EEG at two assessment time points

Mobile EEG-ML may support cognitive workload tracking in healthy subjects; hypothesis-generating for clinical use pending prospective validation.
Can a mobile EEG setup track mental workload during a cognitive task in healthy subjects?
A mobile EEG setup combined with machine learning can accurately detect changes in mental workload, offering a potential tool for evaluating cognitive training.
Kutafina et al. (2021) studied Healthy (n=24). Cognitive load (N-back task) vs. Baseline (rest) was evaluated on Classification accuracy of cognitive load (L0 vs L3) using artificial neural networks. A mobile EEG setup combined with machine learning models successfully discriminated between distinct levels of cognitive load with an accuracy of 86%.
