In this Letter, the Logical Jaya optimisation is proposed as an extension of the Jaya optimisation algorithm to improve the cognitive workload (CW) assessment technique where channel selection for the EEG signal act as a binary optimisation problem. Channel selection is very crucial, time-consuming and requires expertise, specially when brain cognitive load is considered. The proposed approach is designed such that it not only improves the performance of the assessment model of CW but also reduces the computational cost. The approach also helps in the automation of brain analysis. The results obtained show that performance is improved by 22% than existing approaches to an average of >90% accuracy in different scenarios. The channels obtained using the approach also provided accurate active brain regions during CW analogous to previous studies.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
