Popis: This paper explores the validation of tactile mechanisms as an effective means of communications for integration into a physiologic system interface (PSI). Tactile communications can offer a channel that only minimally interferes with a primary or concurrent task. The PSI will use functional brain imaging techniques, specifically functional near-infrared imaging (fNIR), to determine cognitive workload in language and visual processing areas of the brain. The resulting closed-loop system will thus have the capability of providing the operator with necessary information by using the modality most available to the user, thus enabling effective multi-tasking and minimal task interference.
