Researchers are developing the face of “e-tattoo” to track your mental load with high stress-level workplaces

Scientists say they have formulated a way to help people who are in stress and demanding work conditions, track their brain waves and use brain-electronic tattoo, or “e-tattoo” on the face of the person.

In a study located in science Magazine DeviceA team of researchers wrote what they believe Mental load.

Dr. Nanish Lou, Senior Author of Studies Texas University in AustinHe wrote that mental load is a major factor in the person’s systems, directly affecting the cognitive characteristics and decision -making.

LU told Fox News Digital in an email that this device is motivated by high, high work such as pilots, air traffic controllers, doctors and emergency dispatchers.

Scientists say they have formulated a way to help people track their brain waves and brain use. In a study in the magazine device, a team of researchers wrote that she found a more cost -effective and easier way to track mental load. (Dr. Nanshu Lou)

Lu also said ER doctors and robot/drone operators can also use this technology to train and improve performance.

One purpose of this study was to find a way to measure Cognitive fatigue in high impact and morally intense careers.

E-Tattoo is temporarily attached to the subject’s forehead and today is less than current devices.

According to the study, the device is working with Electroencephalogram (EEG) and electro -aculogram (EOG) for measuring both brain waves and eye movements.

Lou wrote that in this study “we offer a wireless forehead forehead ee-tattoo“

Lu Also added that “mental load on the human load is an important factor in the human areaMachine interaction and ergonomics with -with its direct influence on the person Cognitive characteristics.“

The way the study was conducted, when six participants showed a screen with 20 letters, one in different places.

The team found that as the tasks became heavier, different types of the detected brain waves showed shifts of activity, which corresponded to a higher reaction to mental load. (Istock)

The participants were asked to press the mouse when either the letter itself or its location showed that the specified number of letters was shown.

Each participant performed the task several times, which corresponds to four levels of difficulty.

The team found that as the tasks became heavier, different types of the detected brain waves showed shifts of activity, which corresponded to a higher reaction to mental load.

Lou said the device is currently a laboratory prototype.

“Before it can be ready for commercialization, it will need more development, such as real-time, deciphering mental load on tattoos and checking more people and in more realistic conditions,” she said. “The prototype is currently worth $ 200”.
