ABSTRACT
The objective of the present work in progress, in the field of neuroergonomics, is to find psychophysiological correlates for vigilance decrement and mental fatigue in industrial environments as well as the measurements of postural loads using multimodal system. This system is composed of (wirelessly obtained) electroencephalographic measurements (EEG), electrodermal activity (EDA) and commercial 3D motion capture sensor kinect™. The aim of this study is to decrease potential operational error due to slips in attention and mental fatigue of a worker and consequently lead to more reliable and safer production. Further, postural loads could be assessed on-line, thus preventing the over-load of the workers and, consequently, possible work-related MSDs.
