ABSTRACT
Situation awareness (SA) is important in many demanding tasks (e.g. driving). Assessing SA during training can indicate whether someone is ready to perform in the real world. SA is typically assessed by interrupting the task to ask questions about the situation or asking questions after task completion, assessing only momentary SA. An objective and continuous means of detecting SA is needed. We examined whether neurophysiological sensors are useful to objectively measure Level 3 SA (projection of events into the future) during a driving task. We measured SA by the speed at which participants responded to SA questions and the accuracy of responses. For EEG, beta and theta power were most sensitive to SA response time. For fNIRS, oxygenated haemoglobin (HbO) was most sensitive to accuracy. This is the first evidence to our knowledge that neurophysiological measures are useful for assessing Level 3 SA during an ecologically valid task.
We examine whether neurophysiological sensors are useful to objectively measure Level 3 situation awareness (SA) prediction during a driving task. EEG theta and beta, and fNIRS oxygenated haemoglobin were most sensitive to SA accuracy. This is evidence that neurophysiological measures can be used to assess hazard prediction (Level 3 SA).
