Abstract

Physiological sensors have been increasingly been used to understand the states of operators in process control of industrial plants. We examined eye-gaze metrics and heart rate variability (HRV) during a power plant monitoring simulation task, and found that eye fixation count and HRV jointly predict task performance.
