Applications

Mindtooth Use Case Aviation

Aviation

Training and expertise are key aspects in aviation. A traditional way of evaluating operator (i.e. pilots, air traffic controllers) expertise is to measure performance output; however, this approach provides a narrow view of the operator’s capacity, especially with regard to the cognitive profile.

Mindtooth is able to measure workload and stress to assess human factors and help improve performance, learning and competence evaluation of both professional and trainees pilots, as well as air traffic controllers.

Automotive

The human element of driving remains the main cause of traffic accidents and fatalities.

Real-time measurement of workload and vigilance provided by Mindtooth neurometrics enable  better training and improved performance, thereby reducing the risk of accidents.

Mindtooth Use Case Surgeons

Surgeons

Teamwork is a complex construct that cannot be simplified as the linear combination of individuals’ effort.

Although teamwork is crucial in contemporary society, objective methodologies and procedures to evaluate its dynamics and effectiveness are still missing.

To overcome this limitation, Mindtooth provides a neurophysiological – based teamwork assessment by applying the Mutual Information (MI) theory to the neurometrics of mental workload, stress, and vigilance.

Industrial Workers

Work accidents remain a challenge for many industrial sectors, despite safety regulations and procedures. Prioritizing safety is a key factor in ensuring industrial efficiency and effectiveness.

Mindtooth can enhance the management of human resources, by providing real-time measures of workload and stress of workers, anticipating possible errors induced by unsafe human factors (i.e. overload or overstress), even before the worker becomes consciously aware of them.

Mindtooth Use Case Neuroaesthetics

NeuroAesthetics

The Mindtooth system was validated through studies within the Accademia dei Lincei and the Basilica of San Pietro in Vincoli in Rome to measure the appreciation of various works of art: the recitation of passages from Dante’s Divine Comedy or the observation of the Moses statue by Michelangelo.

The quality of the EEG signal recorded on participants moving within a natural environment was confirmed to be of the same quality as that obtained on subjects in a more static position in front of simulators.

Virtual Reality (VR)

The Mindtooth Touch headset can be worn together with head-mounted VR systems without inducing signal interference. The system has been tested by BrainSigns in a research study, which assessed workload and approach-withdrawal during VR in different scenarios.
