Evaluation of mental workload on repetitive handwriting process

Today is the information society and handwriting is reconsidered and adopted for various systems, for example, authentication systems and input systems. In this paper, MWL (Mental Work Load) and iterative process of stroke based on the characteristics of human rhythm perception and the relationship between them was examined. Specifically, the period of ISI draw stroke and some continuous synchronous repetitive auditory stimuli (complex tasks such as synchronous tapping and drawing and stroke) in a process set out by using various and repetitive stroke times such as SE, IWI, IE, WE and SWE was examined. In addition, in order to propose a new experimental system, the parameters that reflect the structure of the process related to the stroke mechanism during the repetitive SWE process were identified. Finally in order to pay a further attention to the consumed resources, the dynamics of SWE, MWL and the related physiological, psychological and performance indicators were compared. © 2012 The Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan.
