Objective
We demonstrate and discuss the use of mobile electroencephalogram (EEG) for neuroergonomics. Both technical state of the art as well as measures and cognitive concepts are systematically addressed.
Background
Modern work is increasingly characterized by information processing. Therefore, the examination of mental states, mental load, or cognitive processing during work is becoming increasingly important for ergonomics.
Results
Mobile EEG allows to measure mental states and processes under real live conditions. It can be used for various research questions in cognitive neuroergonomics. Besides measures in the frequency domain that have a long tradition in the investigation of mental fatigue, task load, and task engagement, new approaches—like blink-evoked potentials—render event-related analyses of the EEG possible also during unrestricted behavior.
Conclusion
Mobile EEG has become a valuable tool for evaluating mental states and mental processes on a highly objective level during work. The main advantage of this technique is that working environments don’t have to be changed while systematically measuring brain functions at work. Moreover, the workflow is unaffected by such neuroergonomic approaches.

移动神经工效学:移动脑电图在工作场所评估和设计中的潜力评估
客观的
我们演示并讨论了移动脑电图 (EEG) 在神经人体工程学中的应用。系统地解决了最先进的技术以及措施和认知概念。
背景
现代工作越来越以信息处理为特征。因此,对工作期间的精神状态、精神负荷或认知过程的检查对于人体工程学来说变得越来越重要。
结果
移动脑电图允许测量真实生活条件下的心理状态和过程。它可用于认知神经人体工程学中的各种研究问题。除了在研究精神疲劳、任务负荷和任务投入方面具有悠久传统的频域测量之外,新方法(如眨眼诱发电位)也可以在不受限制的行为期间对 EEG 进行事件相关分析。
结论
移动脑电图已成为在工作期间高度客观地评估心理状态和心理过程的宝贵工具。这种技术的主要优点是在系统地测量工作中的大脑功能时不必改变工作环境。此外,工作流程不受此类神经人体工程学方法的影响。
