Abstract

Visual perception is affected by the quality of stimulus. In this paper, we investigate the rise in cognitive workload of an individual performing visual task due to vague visual stimuli. We make use of normalized average peak saccadic velocity to estimate the cognitive workload. Results obtained from 16 human subjects show that the mean of peak saccadic velocity increases with workload indicating that faster saccades are required to obtain information as the workload increases. This technique should find application in assessment of vigilance and cognitive performance in many demanding professional, industrial and transportation situation.
