The motivation behind using physiological measures to estimate cognitive activity is typically to build technology that can help people to understand themselves and their work, or indeed for systems to do so and adapt. While functional Near Infrared... Read More about Measuring Mental Workload Variations in Office Work Tasks using fNIRS.

Porous carbons from sustainable sources and mild activation for targeted high-performance CO2 capture and storage (2020)
Journal Article
