Operator Effort and the Measurement of Heart-Rate Variability
Open accessAbstract
This paper discusses the usefulness of heart-rate variability (sinus arrhythmia) as an index of operator effort. Effort is involved if task performance requires the use of attention-demanding, controlled processing. This form of processing heavily uses a capacity-limited mechanism: working memory. Effort is also required if the current state of the subject deviates from the target or task optimal state because of fatigue, circadian rhythm, time of day, sleep deprivation, time on task, drugs, heat, or noise. Effort is involved whenever an attempt to resolve mismatch of target and current state takes the form of active manipulation of cognitive resources. We argue that spectral analysis of sinus arrhythmia is useful to obtain more insight into the physiological mechanisms that underlie heart-rate variability. In the present study, it is shown that the amplitude of the 0.10-Hz component of this signal systematically decreases as the load on working memory increases. Some suggestions are made to apply the methods and techniques discussed in this investigation.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
