Musical Neurofeedback Advancements, Feedback Modalities, and Applications: A Systematic Review.

The field of EEG-Neurofeedback (EEG-NF) training has showcased significant promise in treating various mental disorders, while also emerging as a cognitive enhancer across diverse applications. The core principle of EEG-NF involves consciously guiding the brain in desired directions, necessitating active engagement in neurofeedback (NF) tasks over an extended period. Music listening tasks have proven to be effective stimuli for such training, influencing emotions, mood, and brainwave patterns.

Context-Dependent Cognitive Workload Monitoring using Pupillometry for Control Room Operators to Prevent Overload.

OCCUPATIONAL APPLICATIONSModernization of process plants has replaced traditional machine control with sophisticated computerized control, with the work required of control room operators changing from predominantly physical to cognitive. As a result, excessive cognitive workload during an abnormal condition is not an uncommon situation. Almost 70% of accidents in process industries are the result of human error, which is largely modulated by high cognitive workload.
