BCIwiki (bciwiki.com) — During a workshop at University College London with Professor Tom Carlson, G.tec medical engineering GmbH demonstrated synchronized EEG, ECG, GSR, and eye tracking in a flight simulation experiment. Using g.Nautilus 28-channel wireless EEG, ECG, GSR sensors, and Tobii Pro Glasses 3, the setup captured multimodal biosignals in real time, monitoring changes in mental workload, engagement, and heart rate variability (HRV) across two complete flight cycles including take-off, free flight, and landing. The setup can be prepared within 30 minutes, and participants remain fully mobile throughout.
The experiment used the GeoFS flight simulator, with participants completing two flight cycles around Cape Town, including take-off, free flight, and landing, to simulate varying levels of cognitive workload. Data acquisition and synchronization were performed with g.HIsys, a MATLAB Simulink-based environment supporting filtering, band-power calculation, and physiological metric extraction. Eye tracking data were automatically imported into g.BSanalyze via markers generated in Tobii Pro Lab, enabling definition of areas of interest, segmentation of EEG epochs, and calculation of event-related potentials such as P300. This multimodal approach aims to simultaneously assess neural activity, autonomic nervous system responses, and visual attention.
