Eight Air Traffic Controllers carried out four TRACON II exercises using a graphic and a keyboard interface in low and high traffic. An iView head-mounted eye-tracking device was used. Electroencephalograms, (EEG), Electro-oculograms (EOG) and Electrocardiograms (EKG) were also measured, and on-line observations recorded using the Noldus Observer System. Subjective self-assessments, including the NASA-TLX (Task Load indeX) were employed. Significant events during the exercises were also identified for detailed analysis.
