arXiv:2606.25177v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Cognitive workload monitoring is important for adaptive rehabilitation and assistive interfaces, where task difficulty, pacing, and feedback should be adjusted according to the user's cognitive state to avoid overload and under-challenge. Emerging extended reality and robot-assisted rehabilitation environments provide controllable training tasks, but they require unobtrusive sensing methods that can capture rapid ocular dynamics during interaction. Existing eye-movement-based cognitive workload recognition methods mainly rely on frame-based eye t
The proliferation of extended reality and robot-assisted rehabilitation environments necessitates unobtrusive cognitive monitoring methods, pushing research into real-time workload recognition.
Precise and unobtrusive cognitive workload recognition allows for personalized adaptive interfaces, improving human-computer interaction in critical applications like rehabilitation and complex task management.
The ability to accurately and rapidly detect cognitive load from eye movements shifts away from traditional, often disruptive, monitoring methods towards more integrated and responsive systems.

Adaptive interfaces will dynamically adjust tasks and feedback based on immediate user cognitive state, preventing overload or under-challenge.
This technology could be integrated into various domains beyond rehabilitation, such as training simulations, air traffic control, or industrial automation, to optimize performance and safety.
Ubiquitous, real-time cognitive monitoring could raise ethical considerations regarding privacy and the potential for manipulation in highly personalized digital environments.
