EEG Correlates of Signal Rate, Time in Task and Individual Differences in Reaction Time During a Five-stage Sustained Attention Task

Mental Fatigue Measurement Using EEG

“…The changes were consistent with those of previous studies (Åkerstedt et al, 1991;Lal and Craig, 2001). Changes in EEG with vigilance have generally shown that deterioration in performance is associated with increased  wave and changes in  intensity (Davies, 1965;Morrel, 1966;Gale et al, 1977). Makeig and Jung (1995) also found that changes in  and  waves were related to reduced performance and fatigue.…”

Changes in EEG activity before and after exhaustive exercise in sedentary women in neutral and hot environments

“…Studies which relate changes in the electroencephalogram with vigilance have generally shown that deterioration in performance is associated with increased theta and decreased alpha intensity (Carriero, 1977;Gale et al, 1977;Kornfield and Beatty, 1977;O'Hanlon and Beatty, 1977), although Townsend andJohnson (1979) andO'Hanlon and have indicated that beta activity is also altered. These changes reflect decreased cortical arousal which is likely to occur during long monotonous tasks requiring sustained attention (Belyavin and Wright, 1987).…”

Operator Workload: Comprehensive Review and Evaluation of Operator Workload Methodologies

“…Such findings have been Interpreted as Indicative of lowered arousal levels over time (Gale, 1977, O'Hanlon & Beatty, 1977. As a result, EEG spectral changes have been seen as reflecting general state changes within an Individual (e.g., drowsy, alert).…”
