Evaluation of the Change of Work Using Simple Electroencephalography

Abstract

We have been developing systems using distance learning and blended learning. In our experience, no equipment has ever been able to measure human states easily. Inexpensive electroencephalograph sensors have become available lately, which enable us to measure electroencephalographic information, and thereby to monitor human states and to obtain information easily as digital data. This report describes that β/α is raised by brain activation. This study assessed an electroencephalogram taken during monotonous work using a simple electroencephalograph. Experiments revealed that the β and γ waves appearing as components in the frequency analysis by electroencephalography are closely related to the subject's work-related skill level.
