Abstract

This work aims to validate using a video-based blink detection system for detecting changes in cognitive load. Participants completed a cognitive task with increasing levels of difficulty. Blink rate was recorded via both our video-based system and a scientific-grade eye-tracker. Results showed no differences in the blink rates recorded by the two systems. However, while strong evidence was found that the blink rate recorded through the eye-tracker increased under greater cognitive task demand, no such pattern was observed for the output from the video-based system. Our findings show that the overall performance of the video-based system was comparable with that of the eye-tracker's, but its sensitivity in detecting changes in cognitive load was inferior to that of its counterpart's.
