How can we effectively assess mental fatigue in the cockpit<\/strong>? A new comprehensive review by the RESPONSE team, just published in the journal Frontiers in Neuroergonomics<\/em>, tackles this critical challenge.<\/p>\n

The article, titled “The state of the art in assessing mental fatigue in the cockpit using head-worn sensing technology”<\/em>, examines the potential of physiological monitoring tools<\/strong> for aviation.<\/p>\n

Mental fatigue is an important construct for aviation as it can impact pilots’ performance<\/strong>. However, its assessment remains challenging. Most research in this field is based on basic laboratory experiments, and current measurement methods have limits that must be overcome to be applied in a cockpit<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In this review, the paper provides a critical overview of:<\/p>\n
