Abstract
Brain-related wearables are now freely available on the market, and with even wrist-worn devices making estimates about cognitive activity, understanding cognitive personal informatics has become a pressing issue. Mental Workload is an emotionally agnostic concept that is potentially a parallel to tracking physical activity, which is typically naively considered to be bad if it is high and good if it is low. In this paper we report tasks and their relationship to three dimensions: high vs low, good vs bad, long vs short. We contribute examples of both good and bad high mental workload, as well as good and bad low mental workload, along with examples of long and short high mental workload, and long and short low mental workload.
