Abstract
In today’s data-driven information technology environment, the ability of humans to sustain attention over long periods of time has become an increasingly important skill. We report work in progress to create a novel passive brain computer interface (pBCI), designed to modulate a user’s level of sustained attention in an ecologically valid information system (IS) context. To modulate sustained attention, we take measures of cognitive engagement and vigilance using electroencephalography (EEG) in real time, to form the basis of the BCI, and create a closed neurophysiological feedback loop which adapts elements of a dynamic user interface according to the user’s level of sustained attention. The interface utilizes the ERPsim simulation engine to create an ecologically valid IS task supported by a real-life ERP framework.
