To validate the database, EEG spectral activity was evaluated with EEGLAB and the significant channels and activities for the experiment are highlighted. Classification performance was evaluated by training a support vector regression model on selected features from neighborhood component analysis based on a nine-point workload rating scale. With a reduced feature dimension, 69% classification accuracy was obtained for 3 identified workload levels from the rating scale with Cohen's kappa of 0.46. Accurate discrimination of mental workload is a desirable outcome in the field of operator performance analysis and BCI development; thus, we hope that our provided database and analyses can contribute to future investigations in this research field.enLead Topic: Digitized WorkResearch Line: Human computer interaction (HCI)brain-computer interfaces (BCI)Support vector machines (SVM)regression analysis572journal article
