Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this investigation, eight Air Force air traffic controllers (ATCs) performed three scenarios on TRACON (Terminal Radar Approach Control), a computer-based air traffic control (ATC) simulation, providing support for the differential sensitivity of a variety of workload measures in complex tasks.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: This review discusses the basic tenets of adaptive automation and the role of psychophysiological measures in the study of adaptive Automation, and empirical results from studies of flight simulation are presented.

367 citations


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The sensitivity of physiological measures to evaluate workload was investigated in a simulated flight task and the gain between blood-pressure and heart-rate variability (modulus) was sensitive to mental effort and was not influences by respiration.

325 citations


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Pain elicited from some visceral organs may not be associated with the activation of specific sets of 'visceral nociceptors' but with the intensity of discharge in spinal visceral afferents.

177 citations


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: It is suggested that ADHD patients process perceptual information faster from an early stage (N1), and along with the TS group, ADHD patients showed an unusually marked inhibitory phase in processing (P2), interpreted as a reduction of the normal controls on further processing.

168 citations


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that measurable flying performance decrements do occur due to changes in fatigue and that one can measure physiological correlates of those performance decrement.

163 citations


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Investigation of the contribution of perceived stress, individual traits, and current mood states to individual differences in salivary cortisol responses found negative mood state at baseline was associated with higher cortisol levels at baseline just before, and just after, the speech.

162 citations


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: A 1-year prospective study showed that heartbeat perception as assessed with the mental tracking paradigm predicted maintenance of panic attacks, and supports the clinical significance of the findings.

157 citations


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Both perceptual and response interference may be present in the Simon effect, and the LRP showed signs of incorrect response preparation in incompatible trials, in agreement with response-interference models.

143 citations


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: It is suggested that positive emotional engagement is responsible for the observed sIgA increase and that measuring this physiological response may be a valuable tool for differentiating between positive and negative stress effects or between successful and unsuccessful adaptation or coping with situational demands.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: It is inferred that cardio-afferent input is for the most part transmitted along visceral fibers and that the cortical processing of cardiac activity is similar to the processing of external stimuli.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Results of a balanced factorial design suggested the need to take account of age and sex in studies using measures of electrodermal activity, but season and time of day of testing are seen as important mainly in interaction with sex.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The results show that olfactory perception changes during the menstrual cycle, and odor processing became faster around ovulation and slower during the follicular phase.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Neither PEP nor RSA responses were correlated across the illusion and arithmetic tasks, which may be attributable to the dissimilar modes of autonomic control evoked by these tasks.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The data show that the inhibition of startle can be affected by eliciting stimulus intensity, and that startle response amplitude and probability are affected by stimulus intensity changes in different ways.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Comparing visceral perception (i.e. heartbeat detection) performance and a multi-component assessment of emotion in normal and anhedonic subjects found no correlation was found between anhedonia and visceral perception; however, anhedonics were significantly different from normals across several measures of heart rate, self-report, and facial expressions in response to emotion-eliciting slides.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The findings suggest that physical exercise substantially affects resting EEG, and theoretical mechanisms for these effects are discussed.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The different dose responses of the N1, P2, and MMN (subcomponents) to ethanol may indicate that the neurotransmitter systems underlying their generation are, to some extent, different.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The pattern of results suggests that experimental inductions of complaints may largely wipe out NA-related differences in attentional/interpretative processes that may mediate the NA complaints link.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: An intensity-dependent two-process model of gastrointestinal interoception is derived which differs from standard models of somatosensory information processing, and showed that detection of gastrointestinal stimuli is possible without the subject's awareness (discrimination without reportable sensation).

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The overall conclusion on the basis of the three experiments is that the selectivity of processing was preserved or even enhanced in the authors' particular group of middle-aged participants.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Results indicate that processing of oddball stimuli and motor responding alters 'automatic' auditory processing at the level of the primary auditory cortex; the second SSR amplitude reduction which develops in parallel to P300 might support the hypothesis that slow positive potentials indicate widespread (disfacilitation) inhibition of cortical neural excitability.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Comparison between typical study (seminar, lecture) and leisure activities (resting, conversation, etc.) revealed lower heart rate variability during university-related activities, indicative of increased mental load, and no differences between the groups were found in socioeconomic variables and personality traits.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The interoception of respiratory obstruction was investigated in three different experimental or quasi-experimental studies and the visceral perception hypothesis of J. Brener was examined, which states that biofeedback training of voluntary control of respiratory resistance is accompanied by an improvement in perception of airway obstruction.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The perception of physiological changes indicating emotional arousal in everyday life is quite different from the results suggested by laboratory experiments, and laboratory experiments with films of different emotional quality showed that the method is suitable for the detection of emotional arousal.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The results indicate that working with new technologies was accompanied by enhanced physiological arousal of the employee, and Reactivity was related more to a particular occupational setting than to scales of subjective assessment.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The results show age-related changes at an early stage of the information processing activity, and larger of the orienting system in the younger subjects.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: No main effects of noise were found, but significant interactions between the two experimental factors reflected differential actions of noise dependent on the type of shift, favor a multiple-arousal concept.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: It is suggested that glucocorticoids modulate sensory perception across modalities in healthy volunteers after treatment with hydrocortisone, dexamethasone, and the respective placebos.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: It is concluded that subjects reproduced heart rate with high internal consistency but with a systematic bias, and there is no linear consistency in blood pressure reproduction, and a moderate one in the reproduction of the index of myocardial metabolism.
