New technological challenges are leading us to fully rethink the relationship between humans and machines.

To enable true human-machine cooperation, the Human Factors Technologies lab analyzes and anticipates human behaviors in order to design smart environments that are effective, intuitive, and customized. By the same logic, it creates solutions founded on its expertise in psychophysiology, cognitive sciences, and interaction design. Using the best simulation and analysis methods, it develops user-centered interaction technologies and objective behavioral measurement tools to usher in the digital transformation of the industrial world and help create a new experience for its customers.

An Efficient Deep-Learning-Based Solution for the Recognition of Relative Changes in Mental Workload Using Wearable Sensors

In this work, a new solution for the automatic recognition of relative changes in mental workload is proposed. Wearable sensors were used to collect EEG, EDA, PPG and eyetracking data from 26 human subjects while performing the nback task with three difficulty levels n ∈ {1, 2, 3}. The objective is to recognize whether the mental workload is increasing, decreasing or stable by comparing the…
