arXiv:2606.02598v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Accurate and generalizable estimation of cognitive workload from electroencephalography (EEG) is critical for human-centered and safety-critical systems. Although EEG is widely used for workload assessment, the consistency of region-level EEG contributions across tasks, datasets, and subjects remains unclear. This paper presents a region-level evaluation framework for EEG-based workload prediction in which models are trained and evaluated using features extracted exclusively from electrodes belonging to anatomically defined scalp regions.

The continuous advancements in AI and neuroscience are enabling more sophisticated methods for interpreting complex biological signals like EEG, making now an opportune time to refine cognitive workload prediction.
Accurate and generalizable cognitive workload assessment is crucial for optimizing human-computer interaction in critical systems, potentially enhancing safety and efficiency across numerous industries.
This research introduces a novel region-level evaluation framework that could improve the consistency and reliability of EEG-based cognitive workload prediction, moving beyond general EEG analysis.

Improved cognitive workload prediction directly enhances the performance and reliability of human-centered systems.
Better understanding of brain activity patterns could lead to more effective training protocols and real-time intervention systems for operators.
This technology could eventually be integrated into general AI agents to improve their understanding of human states and optimize collaborative tasks.
