9 Studying cognitive load in defence

Conclusion Cognitive load can be measured in a number of ways and this research provides initial evidence of the utility of combining measures to increase validity. Collecting reliable physiological and neurophysiological data is challenging even in controlled lab conditions. Neuroadaptive solutions offer promising ways to mitigate the onset of undesirable neurocognitive states. However, these need to be modelled on individuals’ own psychological state. For example, experienced surgeons or senior residents can process larger amounts of information than novices and an impersonalised system has the potential to increase cognitive load.
