Working With Environmental Noise and Noise-Cancelation: A Workload Assessment With EEG and Subjective Measures

Abstract: As working and learning environments become open and flexible, people are also potentially surrounded by ambient noise, which causes an increase in mental workload. The present study uses electroencephalogram (EEG) and subjective measures to investigate if noise-canceling technologies can fade out external distractions and free up mental resources. Therefore, participants had to solve spoken arithmetic tasks that were read out via headphones in three sound environments: a quiet environment (no noise), a noisy … Show more

“…The noncasual bandpass filter in the time-domain was applied using Firwin's method. Firwin's bandpass method was used to filter out high-frequency noise from EEG electrical equipment and to exclude slow drifts in the signal [16]. The characteristics of the one-pass, zero-phase bandpass were a lower transition bandwidth (-6 dB cutoff frequency) and an upper transition bandwidth, depending on the frequency band's cutoff frequencies.…”

“…Therefore, many physiological indicators have been used to estimate MWL, such as electrocardiograms (ECG), eye movements, electroencephalography (EEG) measurements, respiration, and electromyography (EMG). Among these physiological indicators, EEG is widely used because MWL changes are closely linked to brain cortical activity and because it is non-smooth, noninvasive, and highly discriminative (Wilson et al, 1994;Dehais et al, 2020;Pieper et al, 2021;Liu et al, 2022;Yu et al, 2022). This is why EEG is also known as the gold standard.…”
