Brainwaves study can tell if a worker can handle crisis situation: IIT Madras


Team Udayavani, Sep 4, 2020, 5:11 PM IST

IIT Madras researchers said a worker’s mental capacity to handle a crisis in a factory can be determined by measuring the worker’s brainwaves using an electroencephalogram (EEG)

According to a study published in the Journal of Computers and Computer Engineering, the researchers found that EEG, a technique that measures brain activity, can measure the cognitive workload of human operators in a chemical plant control room.

They claim that the measurements help assess the worker’s capability to respond to an emergency in real-time.

EEG involves placing sensors on the scalp of the subject and measuring brainwave activity.
