Abstract
A method of determining the perceptual load of a human brain. The perceptual load is induced by a predetermined task carried out by the human. The method includes the steps of: measuring with a functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) sensor device a metabolic activity of the human brain while the task is carried out and determining the perceptual load as a function of a measured change in metabolic activity. The invention further relates to a method of determining the level of stimulus perception corresponding systems.
