Abstract
Physiological measures of aircrew mental workload were divided into fourteen specific classes. Each class was then summarized in terms of background, applications, and implications for research and implementation. It is concluded that several physiological measures appear promising, but that more research is needed to provide convincing evidence of viability. Physiological techniques can, however, be combined with other workload assessment techniques to provide a more complete understanding of the workload associated with given aircrew tasks.Keywords
