The aim of the study was to validate a methodology for professional pilots' neurophysiological assessment improve training program tailoring and management. In particular, focused on quantifying (i) mental workload, (ii) stress level (iii) cooperation degree between two members crews. Two groups pilots were involved in experiments: Experienced Unexperienced. Additionally, Instructor responsible provide subjective evaluation about states cooperation. During entire flight simulations, brain activity acquired through Electroencephalography (EEG). results demonstrated that it is possible quantify operators' while dealing with simulations under realistic settings. Pilots' workload behavioral levels resulted be positively significantly correlated corresponding measurements (all R > 0.6, all p < 0.05), observed higher (p 0.05) than Although are preliminary, they show how capability tasks will instructors additional objective information. this information would allow sessions based crew's behavior.

EEG signals are interpreted, analyzed and classified by many researchers for use in brain-computer interfaces. Although there different signal acquisition methods, one of the most interesting is motor imagery signals. Many processing machine learning deep models have been developed classification Among these, Convolutional Neural Network generally achieve better results than other models. Because size shape data important training discovering right relationships, designed experimented with input structures. However, no study has found literature evaluating effect shapes on model performance accuracy. In this study, effects accuracy were investigated, which had not specifically studied before. addition, preprocessing take a long time before classification, used; rather, two CNN using raw data. Two datasets, BCI Competition IV 2A 2B, used processes. For shapes, 53.03-89.29% 2-23 s epoch obtained dataset, 64.84-84.94% 4-10 2B dataset. This showed that significant performance, when correct selected architecture developed, feature extraction can be done well without any preprocessing.

Background: Despite substantial progress in investigating its psychophysical complexity, tinnitus remains a scientific and clinical enigma. The present study, through an ecological multidisciplinary approach, aims to identify associations between electroencephalographic (EEG) psycho-audiological variables. Methods: EEG beta activity, often related stress anxiety, was acquired from 12 patients (TIN group) 7 controls (CONT during audio cognitive task at rest. We also investigated psychological (SCL-90-R; STAI-Y; BFI-10) audiological (THI; TQ12-I; Hyperacusis) variables using non-parametric statistics assess differences relationships within groups. Results: In the TIN group, frontal activity positively correlated with hyperacusis, parietal trait anxiety; latter is associated depression CONT. Significant paranoid ideation openness were found Conclusions: connection anxiety trait, fronto-parietal cortices hyperacusis provides insights into brain functioning patients, offering quantitative descriptions for clinicians new treatment hypotheses.

Aviation remains one of the safest modes transportation. However, an inappropriate response to unexpected event can lead flight incidents and accidents. Among several contributory factors, startle surprise, which or exacerbate pilot's state stress, are often cited. Unlike has been subject much study in context driving piloting, studies on surprise less numerous these concepts sometimes used interchangeably.
